⚖️ LAURA INGRAHAM UNDER FIRE AFTER BLAMING LA RIOTS ON “LACK OF CONSEQUENCES”
Fox News host Laura Ingraham ignited controversy during her latest appearance on The Ingraham Angle, stating that the ongoing Los Angeles riots are happening “because the people know they will get away with it.”
Her comments came after footage circulated online showing protestors smashing windows, looting stores, and setting fires following a controversial police incident. Ingraham, never one to hold back, blasted city officials and progressive leaders, accusing them of fostering a culture of lawlessness.
“This is the result of decades of permissive policies and soft-on-crime leadership,” Ingraham said. “We’re watching the breakdown of civil order — and it’s not spontaneous. It’s enabled.”
Critics quickly pounced, accusing her of inflaming tensions and lacking empathy. Civil rights advocates said her comments dismiss the legitimate anger behind the protests, while even some Fox contributors privately expressed discomfort.
Social media lit up overnight, with hashtags like #CancelLaura and #JusticeOrChaos trending on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, conservative viewers hailed her as a “truth-teller” and “one of the last voices of sanity on TV.”
ABC political analyst Marissa Yates called the segment “reckless and dangerous,” while others suggested Fox may need to issue an internal memo clarifying its stance. No official response has been made by the network yet.
