Ingraham Is Flailing: Calls For Defunding Law Enforcement
In response to the ATF director's warning about the rise of domestic terrorism, Fox News host Laura Ingraham demanded all these "agencies" that call out right-wing extremism to be defunded and discarded.
Fox News played a clip of Steve Dettelbach, the ATF’s first Senate-approved leader in seven years explaining the issues at hand.
“I think the first thing we need to do is, to be honest about the fact that we have a problem,” he said. “I will tell you, it’s gotten more bold, more brazen and more violent.”
Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) was upset at the ATF for trying to thwart domestic terrorism in the country and quipped to Fox News that anyone now can be considered a domestic terrorist.
"Maybe you grow your own food. Now you're gonna be labeled as such," Masse said.
Huh?
"It's time to defund the agencies that are targeting the American people," Laura Ingraham replied. "That's what we're going to be expecting of our Congress when Republicans take over."
