Fox News host and Laura Ingraham recently found herself making an embarrassing mistake on-air, making light of the error afterward, and then spreading it around a bit. According to The Daily Mail, the segment featured a graphic of Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, confusing her with New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The 61-year-old host addressed her confusion on-air and used the “anti-Trump” angle in an effort to save face.

“Earlier in the Angle, we accidentally showed a graphic that had a photo of another vicious anti-Trump figure, Letitia James, when we were talking about Fani Willis,” Ingraham said. “So that was our mistake, but they both hate Trump.”
Folks online were quick to call out Ingraham for the confusion, noting that she has previously made the same mistake before and that Fox News sometimes causes confusion between its own blonde hosts.
“Laura Ingraham keeps misidentifying photos of Black people because she thinks they all look the same,” one user wrote. “Like the blonde women with sleeveless dresses and too much makeup who work for Fox News.”
In the end, none of this really matters since the lawsuits and cases against Trump have been wiped out since his election victory. So from here, it’s just pointing out television mistakes to claim any small victory while others are just trying to rub in a divisive moment in history.
