Laura Ingraham Burns Rachel Maddow For Wearing ‘Tin Foil Hat’ & Her Russia Theories

Fox News host Laura Ingraham teased MSNBC host Rachel Maddow as a “tin foil hat wearer” whose “Russia theories fell flat.”

Host Ingraham began her Friday night show on Fox News with a “somber note for our friends in the press” who “had to deliver the terrible news that the president of the United States did not conspire with a foreign government to steal an American election.”

“It looks like their dogs died or something,” Ingraham quipped after showing a video of other hosts reacting to the latest Mueller report news.

“All of their dogs died. They are all depressed. In the aftermath of a two-year nonstop hype machine, you might think they’d take a moment and examine their errors, a little introspection, a little thinking about what went wrong. Everything that caused them to overreach.”

Instead, the Fox News host contended, they have “moved on to cover all of the new Trump scandals” regardless of how “miniscule the story.”

“It gets better,” said Ingraham, moving to Maddow after showing more video. “Still reeling from being exposed as a tinfoil hat wearer after her Russia theories all fell flat, Rachel Maddow has a new conspiracy to unravel.”

The Maddow clip showed the MSNBC host speculating that the President’s administration “actually has no plan to go back to the moon” because of something Vice President Mike Pence said in a speech.

“At least she didn’t actually call into question the moon landing, that’s good,” Ingraham joked.

Laura Ingraham & Jim Acosta Exchange Twitter Blows After ‘NARCISSISM’ CPAC Slam

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta lashed out on Twitter at Fox News Host Laura Ingraham after she took a swipe at him during a Thursday appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland.

The Fox News host called Acosta a ‘narcissist’ for making himself the center of every story.

On Thursday, Ingraham reportedly said, “Jim Acosta of CNN: he’s a nice person. He was complaining this morning on television — I know that’s not news — he was complaining that President Trump didn’t call on U.S. media at the summit presser and that he only called on the Russian and the Chinese journalists. Well, it turns out, a producer just told me he called on ABC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and NPR. But he just didn’t call on Jim Acosta. The land of narcissism knows no bounds.”

Laura Ingraham added that Acosta would “probably get a better shake from the Chinese and Russian journalists,” a reference he latched onto when formulating his Twitter response.

“Of course Laura Ingraham sides with the folks at Russian and Chinese State media. Those are her kind of people,” Acosta tweeted, along with the hashtag #PropagandistsUnited.

On Wednesday, Jim Acosta complained that President Donald Trump called on Fox News host Sean Hannity and even foreign journalists instead of him.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham responded to Acosta later via a tweet that ended with the hashtag #America United: “Of course Jim @Acosta, who mischaracterized the Trump #Hanoi presser, can’t take a joke and reacts with invective,” she posted.

“‘[My] kind of people’ includes reporters who stick to the facts and don’t need to make themselves the center of every story. Try it sometime.” she added.

During hand-off banter with Sean Hannity to begin her Thursday night show, Ingraham offered to bring Acosta some “dried seaweed and elixirs” because “I think he’s having a hard time.”

Instead of complaining, Acosta should think about why he doesn’t get called to the press briefings. It’s like he has to strive so hard to make himself feel important.

Maybe he doesn’t get the call because he doesn’t ask questions. He just makes false accusations against the president and his administration when he gets the microphone.

Acosta would do well to spend some time back in school and learn how to be an honest reporter who states the facts and does not try to make himself the news.
