During a recent edition of "The Ingraham Angle" on Fox News, host Laura Ingraham went on a tear against President Trump's top infectious disease authority, Dr. Anthony Fauci, claiming he was part of the "medical deep state" for urging caution amidst the pandemic.
After many health experts warned that President Trump's upcoming indoor campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, could be a health risk to those in attendance, Ingraham attacked the credibility of these scientists.
Calling their words "alarmist...drivel," Ingraham seemed to suggest their advice was politically motivated.

Twitter was amazed Ingraham would endanger people's lives by telling them to disregard the advice of health experts.
She should be forced to spend a day at an ICU and with families who had to watch their loved ones die while isolated

It took a year and a half for 116k Americans to die in WWI. Trump let COVID accomplish that in three months

Many felt Ingraham's words violated the tenants of good journalism.
INGRAHAM SHOULD BE FIRED ....HOW CAN FOX RETAIN A REPORTER WHO FALSELY REPORTS THE FACTS ON COVID19. THIS IS NOT A 'DEEP STATE' CONSPIRACY! THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE OF FOX TO MISLEAD THEIR AUDIENCES

Laura is a danger to the public. When will she lose her job?

Others could do nothing but roll their eyes at the rant.

There were some online who predicted the segment would lead to yet more advertisers leaving Ingraham's program.
Why does this person still have advertisers?

It has to be exhausting being this snarky and nasty all the time @IngrahamAngle

Can't believe this kind of lying is allowed on TV when it has such fatal consequences.

If anyone should understand the potential danger of the pandemic, it's those that run an international news organization.
Foxnews is based in NY where it's been hit worst, and they still wanna call covid19 a hoax

She should make me feel very, very angry, but instead I just feel a sense over-whelming sadness for someone who would use her powerful position to purposely endanger the health and safety of her citizens of this country. Her hollowed out soul must be cavernous. Why, Laura?

I mean what would a medical doctor know about covid anyway, eh? #ignorantgop

When making plans during this global pandemic, it's as important as ever to heed the advice of medical experts.
