Trump mocks Fox News host Laura Ingraham for wearing a mask at his campaign rally and calls her 'politically correct

President Donald Trump mocked the Fox News host Laura Ingraham, one of his most influential media boosters, for wearing a face mask at his Friday campaign rally in Waterford Township, Michigan.

During an off-script portion of his speech, the president mentioned that Ingraham was at the rally and looked around to point her out to the crowd. But Trump quickly pounced on Ingraham when he saw that she had donned a face mask.

"I can't recognize you. Is that a mask? No way. Are you wearing a mask? I've never seen her in a mask," Trump said. "Look at you. Oh, she's being very politically correct. Whoa. Whoa."

Trump has regularly criticized mask-wearing, despite scientific evidence proving it an effective way to curb COVID-19 transmission, and has mocked others for wearing face masks. The president routinely makes fun of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for wearing a mask, even after Trump, the first lady, and several campaign and White House staffers contracted the virus.

And, she was not perfect.

I hope you are staying safe, and sane.

I have donated so much, so many different ways, been to every wisdems event. Going to one now, Mark Hamill sitting in to do Roddy McDowall part of FRIGHT NIGHT table read.

Poll watching, hmm...I worry about the fascist killers who want to poll watch, but happy you are for sure!

Stay Safe!

(Nobody is perfect, she would have been one of the most progressive, liberal, honest and decent presidents of all time)

That anti-PC bullshit may have flown in 2016 but it's not flying now. And any time you beat this dead horse it just makes you look stupid. Stop it with this already.
