Blast from the past: Laura Ingraham compares activists removing Confederate monuments to ISIS

Fox News star Laura Ingraham compared people who advocate for the removal of Confederate monuments to the self-proclaimed Islamic State terror network, or ISIS.

During Tuesday night's broadcast of her primetime show "The Ingraham Angle," the host slammed the "movement," which she alleged is popular "particularly among the young" that "hate(s) the past and eradicate(s) anything they find objectionable or troubling."

Ingraham was referring to the news that protesters, who in August tore down the Confederate monument nicknamed "Silent Sam" at the University of Carolina, are now campaigning against the school's plan to relocate the statue inside a new $5 million campus building, which some students and community groups called a shrine to white supremacy. The statue honors North Carolina's Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War and stood on the college campus for more than 100 years until it was toppled by protesters over the summer.

On her Tuesday night show, Ingraham slammed the students latest protests and argued that pulling the Silent Sam statue "recalls the kind of destructive mindset of, let's say, ISIS." "Think about ISIS – what they did. They pillaged, and they wiped away irreplaceable historical and religious monuments," she continued. "From Palmyra – remember in Syria – simply because they could. It was offensive to them."
