Fox News influencer and right-wing pundit Laura Ingraham was humiliated on her own show on Monday after she tried to trash the bipartisan infrastructure bill, prompting Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to educate her on the need for infrastructure investment.
“So, a couple of things,” Cassidy began, as the chyron on the lower third of the screen read, “Dems using infrastructure bill as a Trojan Horse.”
“It is the person in my state stuck in traffic, who’s fearful of their home flooding, who wants to have a better job, that actually would like to make more money, but doesn’t make a lot of money now who really likes this bill,” the Louisiana Republican said.
“I talk to Fox News watchers, they love this bill,” he told Ingraham.
The Louisiana Republican also said not to worry about how the bill would impact the wealthy because, “they have chauffeurs, they have private jets, they can fly here or there if it floods. It’s the people who live in their own home who are at risk of flooding that like it.”
