Laura Ingraham called 'not credible' after Fox News anchor claims President Joe Biden is ‘pitting Americans against each other’
PHEONIX, ARIZONA: President Joe Biden spoke at Arizona State University, the home of the McCain Institute, on Thursday, September 28, 2023, where he called the MAGA supporters "extremists".
During his visit to Phoenix, Biden delivered a warning about the fragile state of American democracy. He also took the opportunity to pay tribute to his late friend and Republican Senator John McCain.
Following this event, Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham invited Ned Ryun founder and CEO of American Majority and television commentator Benjamin (Ben) Domenech on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ to discuss the rhetoric used by President Biden and the Democratic Party against its opponents.
She took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the news with her followers and update them more on the issue. However, the internet did not respond positively to her bashing of Biden and brutally slammed her for not being “credible”.

Her tweet featured a video clip from ‘The Ingraham Angle’ where Ben Domenech and Ned Ryun shared their views on the recent expression used by Biden for MAGA supporters.
In the video, Biden candidly said, “There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA Movement. Not every Republican — not even the majority of Republicans — adheres to the extremist MAGA ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with Republicans my whole career."
He continued, “But there is no question that today’s Republican Party is driven and intimidated by MAGA extremists. Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American Democracy as we know it."
Reacting to Biden’s speech, Ingraham said, “The finger is always pointed back at Democrats when they accuse conservatives of being this or that. It’s what they actually are.”
She further added that Biden and the Democratic Party perceive a threat from Donald Trump's popularity and from "MAGA extremists".
Ingraham added that Democrats “don’t want to empower the people, but they do fear the people, and they’re going to smear the people and lie about us cause it means more power for themselves.”
Adding more to the discussion, Ryun chimed in and told Ingraham, “Nothing says bipartisanship when the President of the United States tries to demonize half the electorate.”
He said, “It should be deeply troubling that the President of the United States is trying to demonize tens of millions of people, but not only demonize them but dehumanize them.”
Ryun added, “I think the left’s authoritarian tendencies, their language, their behavior, that’s an existential threat to Americans’ way of life and their freedom.”

One social media user reflected on Ingraham's remark against Biden and added, “Dont you like that? You do it on your show everyday.”
Another tweeted, “Nope! That’s what YOU do by spreading lies day in, day out! Remember the $787 million Fox had to pay?”

One more user slammed at Ingraham and said, “Very misleading headline Laura. What's the matter, no time to watch the whole speech? More than worthy of anyone's time. Separating out violent death threat makers and Insurrectionists as MAGA Extremists among the @GOP is not divisive. It is American.”
