Fox News' Ingraham Boots Guest After He Mocks Her Over Ad Boycott: 'High School Kids Shut You Down'

by Ken Meyer | 11:30 am, April 19th, 2018

Things got really awkward for Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night when one of her guests kept taking shots at her for losing advertisers after she mocked an anti-gun student activist who survived the Parkland school shooting.

Enrique Morones, founder of the Border Angels human rights organization, appeared opposite Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox for a debate on California’s sanctuary laws. Ingraham asked Morones about Governor Jerry Brown‘s resistance to having the National Guard help build President Trump‘s Mexican border wall, but Morones started things off by snarking “I’m glad David Hogg let you back on the air.”

After Morones eventually addressed Ingraham’s question about immigration and sanctuary states, she responded “you might not be aware of the concept called facts,” which prompted him to retort “I’m all about facts, but you’re on Fox News, so you’re not about facts.” The two continued to tussle until Ingraham handed things over to Cox, who argued that most people in California are tired of the state’s sanctuary laws.

When Morones dismissively reacted to Cox, Ingraham started scolding him again for being “rude and nasty” throughout the discussion. That’s when Morones sucker-punched her.

“Where’s your sponsors? David Hogg got rid of half of them. High school kids shut you down.”


After that, Ingraham removed him from the show and bemoaned the leftist display of demonizing one’s political opponents.

liberal tears. Well thanks to their bullshit those tears are ice cold. What do you get with freezing water and a lot of snow?
You get a whole shit load of frozen ice and that ice is all sliding down hill towards that rat shack at the bottom where the gop and their voters exist.
