Fox News host Laura Ingraham was mocked on Wednesday for an attack on a rival network that may have said more about herself than she intended.

Ingraham ripped NBC News for firing Ronna McDaniel after shed spent just days on the job as a paid on-air contributor.

The network where I actually started my TV career wouldnt ever hire anyone like me now, said Ingraham , who was on MSNBC years ago. McDaniel, she said, somehow slipped through until a staff revolt caused the network to let her go.

The inmates took over the asylum, Ingraham said, claiming that the network fired McDaniel only because she supports Donald Trump and didnt denounce him on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol.

Believe no other explanation they provide about why they got rid of her, Ingraham insisted.

But her critics were quick to point out theres a different reason employees were unhappy about McDaniels arrival, and why Ingraham would probably get an icy reception too. Its because they lie and spread conspiracy theories .

Ingraham has also been accused of pushing white nationalist talking points on her show. In 2019, she featured white supremacist Paul Nehlen in a graphic of prominent voices censored on social media. A year earlier, she attacked even legal immigrants in a broadside that won the approval of prominent white supremacist David Duke .
