Fox News host Laura Ingraham gave viewers an earful about how the Democratic party was hellbent on keeping young Americans "weak, poor, frightened, and alone."
During an episode that aired on April 20—a date celebrating cannabis culture and consumption, otherwise known as 420–Ingraham said of the Democrats:
"They don’t want you to get married. They don’t want you to go out to work. They don’t want you to have kids."
She maintained:
"They want you at home smoking pot and playing video games, and spending the rest of your life as a twelve-year-old."
Here is a clip of her rant.
\u201cIngraham: They don\u2019t want you to get married. They don\u2019t want you to go to work. They don\u2019t want you to have kids. They want you at home smoking pot and playing video games..\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
Ingraham has been vocal against marijuana use in the past.
She slammed potheads after a CNN correspondent covered a "Canni-bus" marijuana bus party where revelers rang in the new year getting high in the state of Denver where recreational pot is legal.
"We'll see how this all works out for our country," she tweeted at the time, adding:
"More potheads, increase in cases of schizophrenia, psychosis, more impaired driving."
And in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting–where 19 children and two adults were killed by a gunman who used a legally-purchased assault rifle–Ingraham joined other conservatives in shifting the blame away from guns.
She claimed the rise in American gun violence was due to an alleged link she called the “pot psychosis–violent behavior connection.”
With her recent weed rant on her Fox program, Twitter users gave Ingraham a blunt...response.
\u201c@Acyn Not everyone Laura. Just you. \ud83d\ude06\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn Translation: \u201cI need able bodied white kids to flip my burgers and trim my hedges, who are willing to work as cheaply as the brown people I use now.\u201d\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
Others thought her complaint was rather dope.
\u201c@Acyn Honestly? Sounds magical.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn Where do I sign up.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn As a working mother, staying home smoking weed and playing video games sounds like a dream vacation\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn I guess I\u2019m an overachiever, since I did/do all those things\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn I have a feeling Laura and the rest of the world would benefit greatly if she\u2019d stay home and smoke weed all day.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
She continued getting burned.
\u201c@Acyn Who's "they"? I hope Fox is sued for the outrageous slander coming out of the mouths of Ingraham and Carlson. How *on earth* does this entity stay on the air- especially under the guise of "news"? I hope they're sued into the ground. I hope a test pattern takes their place.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn Thanks for the refill, Laura\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn Laura Ingraham has Never been Married and has Nanny\u2019s raising her kids and she hasn\u2019t had a honest job in 30 years, she never Grew up.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
\u201c@Acyn Translation: Nobody wants to marry her..\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1682044884
Inhale, exhale, Laura.
It's all good.
