Laura Ingraham claimed Thursday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s criticism of President Donald Trump could encourage more assassination attempts on the president. The Fox News host leaned on the Minneapolis shooting to try to make her point. (Watch the video below.)
Ingraham played clips of Newsom suggesting Trump won’t surrender power at the end of his term and accusing the president of authoritarian tactics to assert policy.
“The rule of law is being replaced with the rule of Don,” Newsom said in one highlight.
Ingraham accused Newsom, seen as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, of lying before she pivoted to her ominous forecast.
“This lie, endlessly repeated, is dangerous,” Ingraham said. “The Minneapolis killer fantasized about murdering Trump in his manifesto. And, of course, there were just two assassination attempts before that.”
