Fox News Laura Ingraham appeared startled when a guest dared to disagree with her viewpoint on Monday night.

New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson wrong-footed Ingraham when he told the prime time host he agreed with Jemele Hills latest essay in The Atlantic, which explored whether Black athletes should leave majority-white colleges and take the money and attention they generate elsewhere.

Video of Ingrahams reaction to Watsons view is now going viral. Watch below:

She had some great points in that article, Watson told Ingraham.

What [Hill] was saying was simply, if we are trying to pump money and revenue into some of these communities that there is still this big disparity, this may be a way to do it, Watson continued. Obviously thats in a vacuum, there are other factors that figure into that, but when you read her argument, she lays it out very cleanly and its actually something that I agree with.

Ingraham told Watson that his alma mater, Duke University, would have not been thrilled at you not being there and that college sports would certainly be a lot different today if we went down a color-coded way of figuring out college admissions. Thats re-segregating the country. Why do we want that?

Segregation, as you know, is government-mandated. This is not segregation. If you read the article, Watson corrected Ingraham, before she cut him off.

I read the article. I read the article. All right, we got to go, she said.

Hill later chimed in with a tweet pointing out what was so hilarious about Ingrahams stance, given her long history of peddling white nationalist talking points.
