LEAVE LAURA INGRAHAM ALONE

Who are you to judge her?

I don't care what Laura Ingraham's own brother says. Laura Ingraham is not a monster, and it's time to stop spreading these vicious rumors about her, okay?


Laura Ingraham is a smart, successful, capable woman, and just because she bullies children on national television does not make it okay to be mean to her. When young people enter the political stage trying to make their world better, they need to understand that they open themselves up to being attacked by classy, wise, strong women like Laura Ingraham. And so what if Laura Ingraham cares about her paychecks more than the planet? Who are you to judge her?

If anything, Laura Ingraham deserves more credit for her many, many talents. Video editing is hard, and Laura Ingraham did a great job juxtaposing young activist Greta Thunberg's impassioned climate change speech with a creepy scene in Children of the Corn. Maybe instead of insulting Laura Ingraham for being awful to kids, we should encourage her to continue pursuing her passion for visual media arts.

Also, I'm so sick of everyone saying Laura Ingraham is a white supremacist. How could she be a white supremacist when she adopted non-white children to shield herself from those exact claims? Besides, it's not like we've ever seen her wearing her SS uniform. Laura Ingraham has never even recited Mein Kampf from memory at a poetry slam. The only thing Laura Ingraham has ever done to make people think she's a white supremacist is passionately defend white supremacists, and that's only because she cares about free speech. And sure, maybe it's weird that she's a lot angrier about children who want to improve the planet than the actual terroristic threat of white supremacy, but that's just her opinion and probably doesn't mean she's a white supremacist.

But okay, let's say Laura Ingraham really is a white supremacist. So what? Since when is it okay to dislike someone just because they hate non-white minorities? A beautiful, talented, well-spoken woman like Laura Ingraham absolutely deserves her nationally televised hate-spreading platform, and it would be really messed up for anyone to consider taking that away from her.

What would we even do, boycott all her sponsors? Even if it were possible to boycott South Beach Diet, Fungi-Nail, Rohto, SeroVital, NFL Network, Waterpik, Stamps.com, Coravin, Takl, Roman Pharmacy, Energizer, Bausch & Lomb, Sandals Hotel/Resort, Sheex, Safelite Auto Glass Co, Nutrisystem, USAA, MyPillow, Lifelock, StarKist, WeatherTech, HomeToGo.com, ClearChoice Dental, Tecovas, Prevagen, Carfax, Elite Singles Dating Service, The Zebra, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, would we really want to?

Is it seriously reasonable to buy a different pillow than MyPillow or go to any other sex resort than Sandals just to make it clear to Laura Ingraham's corporate sponsors that we don't support them propping up a white supremacist whose own brother thinks she's a monster? Because it's not like we even think that, right?

In conclusion, Laura Ingraham is an amazing woman and a beacon of light for very angry white people. It's time for everyone to start showing Laura Ingraham the respect she deserves and definitely not boycott her sponsors or spread around any proof of her white supremacy. Mic drop.
