Laura Ingraham is an awful human being, so of course she would have a guest on her show so the two could "mock sexual assault survivors," as noted by Media Matters.
It's not shocking that Fox News would downplay sexual assault. Not with the history its culture has in terms of sexual harassment.
"This week, Capitol Hill offices were filled with protestors," said Raymond Arroyo, Ingraham's guest. "Poor Lindsey Graham, he was outrunning the mob. This looked something out of those Frankenstein movies, you known, where the villagers-look, they're yelling and screaming at him with signs, poking him," said Arroyo of Lindsey Graham trying to avoid protesters. "Torches," added Ingraham to the famous scene of a Frankenstein movie.
The problem with their claims is that Lindsey Graham was not being poked, nor were their any signs of torches at the protest of Brett Kavanaugh and the Republicans.
"This was the scene all over the capitol," continued Arroyo. Ingraham said the protestors were "paid actors."
Arroyo went on to discuss the interactions between protestors and Senator Jeff Flake, saying:
But this built to the moment today, when Jeff Flake, who was always on the fence about whether he was going to vote Kavanaugh out of committee, was cornered in an elevator today. You showed it earlier. We're going to let people hear it. This is that moment that Flake claims caused his change of heart.
"The insistence, the anger, the harassment of public officials," lamented Arroyo. "I worry about this. Do you think this is staged? Might have been staged, to justify the change of heart?" Arroyo asked Ingraham.
"Look at me, look at me," said Ingraham pretending to quote the protesters who confronted Jeff Flake at an elevator on Capitol Hill.
Ingraham went on to say she thinks sexual harassment is bad, while saying something that one who doesn't really give a shit always says:
If you did that to one of those women, they would be screaming harassment. They don’t like it. First of all, if you’re someone who is sexually assaulted, that is a horrible terrible thing but that therefore does not mean that every person who is accused of sexual harassment is guilty. The logic class doesn’t seem to have been attended by these people.
"I worry that by giving into this horde, you're going to unleash another antifa-like swarm, and this will continue. What are we teaching kids? Throw a temper tantrum, you get what you want," said Arroyo.
"Use the f-bomb. Use the f-bomb, and follow people," said Ingraham. "It's a bad message," remarked Arroyo.
Here's some response of her remarks on Twitter:
That last tweet brings up an interesting point. If Laura Ingraham does not have kids, that would make her and Ann Coulter two popular women in the conservative movement not married, and without kids. You don't have to be married, nor have kids. I point that out, because who could be so miserable enough in this world to be capable of stomaching being married to them?
