OOF: Fox News Host Laura Ingraham Delivers Painfully Awkward On-Air Mix-Up
HuffPost
Not everyone is buying her excuse for the mistake.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham confused two different Black women during an awkward on-air moment Monday as she listed off officials who have taken part in the various legal proceedings against President-elect Donald Trump.
“History is going to remember Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis and the judges who let these cases get as far as they did as modern-day Keystone Cops, who chased Trump around, hounding him, trying to keep him off the campaign trail because they hated his agenda,” she said on “The Ingraham Angle.” “They hate everything he stands for.”
Just one problem: The image did not include Willis, the district attorney prosecuting Trump in a Georgia election interference case. It did, however, show Letitia James, the attorney general of New York who filed a civil fraud suit against the Trump Organization. (Trump lost the case but is appealing the verdict.)
Fox News fixed the image for the version posted on YouTube.
Later in the show, Ingraham acknowledged the error, although she did not apologize.
