Laura Ingraham Rips Hillary Clinton's NRA Tweets: 'Despicable Level of Ignorance'

by Ken Meyer | 10:19 am, October 3rd, 2017

Yesterday, Ingraham joined the chorus of conservatives who panned Clinton after the former Secretary of State recommended that people challenge the NRA following the horrific events of Nevada. Ingraham appeared on Fox & Friends to talk about the shooting, and she began by expressing her opinion that there’s no government solution that would have stopped the massacre.

When the discussion moved on to Clinton, Ingraham hammered away at the former Secretary of State for speaking without knowing the full facts for either guns or the attack. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” Ingraham said. “The level of ignorance…I found it to be despicable.”

Ingraham slammed other Democrats for their pro-gun control remarks after the shooting, though she remained focused on Clinton’s “idiotic” comments about gun suppressors.

“People want politicians just to take a breath for the most part,” Ingraham said, though she did concede that politicians are certainly free to pursue gun control legislation.

"there’s no government solution that would have stopped the massacre. "

If the administration can purport to keep Muslim people from flying into the country as potentially dangerous to the US, we certainly can make the attempt to restrict domestic WMD from getting into people's hands who clearly do not need them.

Do you want another solution? Let's be like the UK and Australian and remove guns altogether. There's a government solution for you! Australia did this and have had no mass shooting since then as a result.

Ingraham essentially agreed that politicians need to act in a weaselly way. With all the gratuitous Hillary bashing, not sure what purpose this bilge serves here

their last breath two days ago as a result of our nation held hostage by the ignoramuses who support the NRA and their stance against common sense gun laws. We are not going to allow the politicians who support what's becoming a regular flow of blood and carnage in our streets and in our workplaces continue because little pussies with big guns have the NRA to hide behind.
