Fox News host Laura Ingraham was seeing red Tuesday over a new CNBC report ranking predominantly Trump-won states in the bottom 10 on its list of the worst places to live.“How does that make any sense?” she said. (Watch the video below.)Ingraham was stoking fear of socialism after two democratic socialists and another progressive, backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, won their congressional primaries in New York last month.She introduced a chiefexecutive.net poll from April of the best states for business. “Six hundred fifty CEOs were polled, and they rated the best states in which to do business,” the right-wing host said. “The top 10, including Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, are Republican. They are run by Republicans, except Virginia, which is at number No. 10, and North Carolina, kind of a purple state, at No. 5. So, money and people, resources, are pouring into red states. So how do the socialists brush this off? Well, they do so either by ignoring it or distorting the data, or a little help from their friends.”She then cued up what she perceived as an example of that ― a recent CNBC report titled, “These are America’s 10 worst states to live in for 2026.”“All the states on this list, OK, Trump won,” she said. “Every state except Georgia in 2020. And the list included four of the top 10 states for business. How does that make any sense? They have kind of a weird calculus there, but this is obviously a blatant effort to dismiss and denigrate more conservative states. But it’s really nothing new.”Perhaps Ingraham missed CNBC’s stated criteria:“To score the states for quality of life, we use hard data on factors like crime rates, air quality and healthcare. We also consider the cost and availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights.”A few of those could definitely hurt some red states’ standing.But hey, Laura, there’s no need to feel so blue about it.
