Laura Ingraham Attacks Rep. Frederica Wilson’s Credibility - Because Of Her Hat

Laura Ingraham – soon to be a prime time host on Fox News – showed her own true character as she attempted to destroy that of Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson who dared to call out Donald Trump’s insensitive treatment of the widow of one of the fallen soldiers killed in Niger.

In case you missed it, Wilson said she overheard Trump's call to the Gold Star widow of Sgt. La David T. Johnson, one of the soldiers killed in Niger nearly two weeks ago. It was a call Trump was all but shamed into making. According to Wilson, Trump told the widow her husband “must have known what he signed up for.”

Media Matters caught Ingraham on the radio today. First, Ingraham suggested Wilson has no credibility because she’s a “virulent Trump hater, and a tea party hater, and a conservative hater.”

But then Ingraham suggested Wilson has no credibility because of how she dresses:

INGRAHAM: How many of you give much credibility to the woman who walks around with a rhinestone cowboy hat that looks like it came from Dolly Parton’s costume closet? She wears like a green one, and it's a -- She’s trying to play [Rep.] Maxine Waters [(D-CA)] for the -- She’s a combo of Maxine Waters and [Rep.] Sheila Jackson Lee [(D-TX)]. She’s very -- I mean, I’m all for colorful dressing, but you dress like you came -- you look like you came out of a carnival. This woman’s a nutbag. ... She's always on a tear about impeachment. So, she wants Trump impeached, and now she's flapping her mouth about what happened in the car.

The mother of the fallen soldier has confirmed Wilson's account and added new details about why she felt Trump had disrespected her son..

But if Ingraham thinks wearing a cowboy hat is so outrageous, then why does she give David Clarke, the hate-mongering, violence-endorsing, race-baiting, plagiarist, and possible future criminal has so much respect? He's the former sheriff of Milwaukee County, hardly the kind of place where you need to ride the open range mounted on horseback.

Have any of you read what he actually said? The soldier’s widow has even accused Frederica of distorting what Trump said. The issue is Federica lied. The second is the MSM is knowingly reporting propaganda not facts. A third reason is people reading articles like this piece of sensationalist gibberish, choose not to verify if what they read is true. Finally, the hats are not the issue. All they are is a tacky fashion accessory worn by a liar.

Reminds me of when Fox went crazy over Obama weighing a suit they didn’t like.

Well, to be sure, Clarke’s headgear, while definitely ridiculous, never included rhinestones.

Clarke reserved the use of shiny baubles for his uniform:

Personally, I think the President was doing his level best to try and find the words. But empathy is just not his thing. He hasn’t got it in him to forget about himself even for a minute and that means that he’s always trying somehow, someway to justify himself, regardless of the circumstances. In other words, if the soldier knew what he was getting himself into, it’s his responsibility. Right? The President comes across as a very insecure, guilt-ridden person.

That said, I share Laura’s opinion of silly headgear.
