Fox News host Laura Ingraham is one of President Trump’s biggest supporters in conservative media.
But something just changed.
And Laura Ingraham just flipped on Trump, and James Carville had one unthinkable reaction.
Less than 40 days remain until the midterm election.
Polls show Democrats leading Republicans in the race for control of Congress.
The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Democrats leading Republicans by 8.7% on the generic ballot question about which party voters want to see in charge of Congress.
Polls also show Democrats leading in enough races to claim a majority in the United States Senate.
Voters’ anger over the war with Iran and the high gas prices that resulted are driving the Democrats’ polling lead.
But in the Trump era, polls consistently overstated Democrats’ support, and many on the left worry that the polls will be wrong again and instead of a blue tsunami, they really show a blue mirage that will disappear on Election Night when the actual votes get counted.
Ingraham asked Democrat strategist James Carville if he thought the polls really meant anything and noted that she had been against the Iran War from the start,
“Put your campaign hat on for a moment,” Ingraham stated. “Does the generic ballot number mean much to you? I mean, given what you’ve laid out. Obviously, I’ve not been for the war in Iran. And I’m not happy with high gas prices. I see a lot of other good trends, but I’m not happy with those at all.”
Carville was pleased to see Ingraham state her opposition to the war.
“I’ll give you credit,” Carville replied. “I’ll give you credit.”
“From day one,” Ingraham doubled down.
Ingraham emerged as one of Trump’s early backers when he first started running for President in 2015 because Ingraham had long been a critic of the GOP establishment’s support for open borders, so-called “free” trade deals, and endless wars in the Middle East.
During the Bush years, Ingraham staked out her ground against the Bush-era GOP’s globalist agenda.
In an interview with Trump, Trump also admitted that Ingraham had been against the war from the start.
But Ingraham kept those reservations to herself and publicly backed the war as a brilliant move.
“It demonstrates how critical it was for President Trump to act when he did,” Ingraham said of the decision to go to war with Iran back in March. “Because if Iran is so much more powerful than even the establishment and all its experts thought, imagine how much worse the situation would be if Iran had a nuclear weapon.”
Ingraham also declared that the war was “ultimately a huge gift to future generations.”
Now that the war is unpopular and looks like it will cost Republicans seats in Congress in November, Ingraham feels free to speak her mind on how she always opposed the war.
