Fox News anchor Laura Ingrahams Wednesday night monologue about immigrants destroying America was so racist it got the endorsement of David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
During the opening to her primetime show The Ingraham Angle, Ingraham complained that the America we know and love doesn't exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people, she said, in the form of documented and undocumented immigrants.
Minutes later, Duke tweeted praise for Ingraham.
One of the most important (truthful) monologues in the history of MSM, he wrote above a clip of Ingrahams rant. He later deleted the tweet.
It should be no surprise that Ingrahams rhetoric got the endorsement of an open white supremacist. Ingrahams fellow Fox News host Tucker Carlson also echoed white nationalist rhetoric when he said immigrants were leading to the collapse of the American family in June.
Ingraham and Carlsons monologues borrowed the rhetoric of what white nationalists falsely call white genocide, an innuendo that refers to racist fears about people of color coming to outnumber white people in the United States. A large segment of white nationalists also hitch their fears to the claim that the left and/or Jewish people are encouraging immigration to dilute the white race.
