Laura Ingraham Criticized for On-Air Mix-Up of Black Female Prosecutors
The Fox News host apologized after mistakenly displaying a photo of New York Attorney General Letitia James instead of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during a segment on Donald Trump-related cases.
- Laura Ingraham mistakenly displayed Letitia James' photo while discussing Fani Willis during her Fox News show, 'The Ingraham Angle.'
- Both James and Willis have been involved in high-profile legal actions against Donald Trump, with James pursuing a civil fraud case and Willis leading a Georgia election interference investigation.
- Ingraham acknowledged the error on air, attributing it to a mix-up but added that 'they both hate Trump,' a comment that drew further criticism online.
- Critics on social media accused Ingraham and Fox News of racial insensitivity, referencing past instances of similar mix-ups involving Black individuals on the network.
- Fox News later corrected the graphic in the online version of the segment, but the incident reignited scrutiny of the network's handling of race-related issues.
