Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, condemns Democrats for increasing profanity on social media while defending President Donald Trump’s use of expletives.
Democrats’ Rising Profanity on Social Media
A recent six-year analysis reveals Democratic politicians use the F-word more frequently than Republicans in social media posts. In January alone, 12 Democratic lawmakers posted it 23 times on X. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego leads with 77 instances over the period. His spokesman declined to comment, stating Gallego would “just let his stats and history speak for itself.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom exemplified this trend in February, firing back at Fox News host Sean Hannity on X. Hannity accused Newsom of claiming a 960 SAT score made him “like” Black Americans, referencing a conversation with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. Newsom had said at a book tour event, “I’m like you. I’m no better than you. I’m a 960 SAT guy.”
Newsom responded: “You didn’t give a s*** about the President of the United States of America posting an ape video of President Obama or calling African nations s***holes — but you’re going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia? Spare me your fake f***ing outrage, Sean.”
Ingraham mocked the trend on her Thursday show, questioning, “If MAGA were truly on life support, why are so many Democrats trying to be like Trump?”
Trump’s Expletive-Laden Post on Iran
Trump posted a profanity-filled message on Truth Social Easter Sunday, urging Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil route closed amid ongoing conflict. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”
Ingraham acknowledged she “didn’t like” the post but explained, “We now know the strategy behind that post. Simply put, the only way to get the attention of madmen is to sound like a madman.” Trump followed up over the weekend, warning “all Hell will reign down” if Iran failed to comply.
Just before Tuesday’s deadline, Trump announced a two-week ceasefire, expecting Iran to open the strait. On Thursday, he criticized Iran’s “very poor job, dishonorable some would say,” in facilitating oil passage.
