If you watched any of yesterday’s Senate hearing that featured Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, then you probably saw Fox News host Laura Ingraham looming over Fauci’s left shoulder.
Fauci, you may recall, led the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first Trump administration and has been hailed for his role in ensuring a vaccine for the disease was rapidly developed and rushed to market to help quell the further spread of the virus.
As Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify, Ingraham repeatedly rolled her eyes and shook her head, and that caught the attention of The Daily Show, which quickly roasted the Fox host.
In a video posted on social media, Ingraham is heard remarking about another person, “The smirking for the camera… the smirk she had on her face… shaking her… shaking her head… and she just kind of rolled her eyes, mugging for the cameras, and at certain points it almost seems like a competition for the camera,” Ingraham’s voice says about another person she has attacked in the past.
“Her little charade for the cameras isn’t just an example of conduct that is boorish and rude, arrogant and rude, always performing for the cameras,” Ingraham said as the video continued.
“Taking a selfie like a junior high school girl,” Ingraham is also says, as footage of her also taking a selfie during the hearing is shown.

Others then joined the fun, heaping more mockery onto Ingraham.
She was a plant. She performed as was expected of her. Now she can go on ad nauseam on her gossip show so everyone can roll their eyes up into the back of their heads. 🙄 @IngrahamAngle

She knows the camera is on her. She’s pathetic.

She knew actually what she was doing and that it would be televised. Playing up to all the crazy people. She is a deranged bitch.

I didn't think she could look worse than she does on her show. I was wrong.

@IngrahamAngle never realized how ugly you really are. Thanks for the visuals. Can’t wait until this awful era is over and all you cockroaches call back under your rocks! Hope someone sues you for lol the money you have and you spend the rest of your life bankrupt. God speed!

If a wet fart could appear in human form, it’d be Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham is a disgusting excuse for a human being. She’s so deplorable, it’s a wonder Donald Trump hasn’t offered a job in his administration.
