THEN: The most telling message, though, came from Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
“The president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home,” she wrote. “This is hurting all of us.”… That’s a strange formulation, coming from an ostensible member of the media. Hannity had long been explicit in his support for Trump. But, with that message, Ingraham was equating the damage being done to Trump by the violence of his supporters with damage being done to a broader group of Trump allies, herself included. Her concern was not what was being done to America but to them, the Trumpists of which she was a part. (Washington Post)
AND AFTER THEN: As if intentionally reinforcing that point, Ingraham’s program on the evening of Jan. 6 worked to downplay the blame that might be attributed to Trump. She claimed that the rioters were “not all Trump supporters” and elevated a quickly debunked claim about the presence of Antifa. She claimed that the rioters amounted to about “three dozen people,” a figure that, as of writing, constitutes less than 5 percent of the number of people who have so far been arrested for their roles in the violence. (Washington Post)
AND NOW: I want ALL of the ENABLERS/the COHORTS/those who believed that ANARCHY was as American as somehow not only watching FOX NOISE but actually being paid by FOX NOISE in order to promote the ascension to power of a wanna be DICTATOR, to be held accountable for TREASON! I am so tired of pretending that, “WELL, ITS FOX AND WHAT DO WE EXPECT?” As an American Citizen, who strives for a JUST DEMOCRACY, I expect TRAITORS like Ingraham to be held accountable for UN-AMERICAN ACTS of HATE!
