Fox News host Laura Ingraham has come to the defense of former President Trump, stating that anyone with a “6th-grade understanding of the English language” would know that he was not calling for or predicting a civil war with his recent “bloodbath” comment.
Ingraham explained on “The Ingraham Angle” that Trump was actually criticizing China’s expansion into Mexico with auto manufacturing plants that produce cheap electric vehicles. She emphasized that China’s goal is not just to compete with U.S. car companies, but to put them out of business entirely, which she described as potentially catastrophic for the United States.
The host went on to criticize those who have interpreted Trump’s comments as inciting violence, calling them “unhinged left-wing pundits” who have twisted his words for their own agenda. She highlighted the increasing influence of citizen journalists and the diminishing power of the corporate press in shaping public opinion.
Ingraham also pointed out the pattern of smears against conservatives, where false or distorted statements are picked up by the Biden campaign or its surrogates, then repeated by the mainstream media without fact-checking. She criticized this process as a manipulation of the truth to fit a certain narrative.
