Fox News host Laura Ingraham is getting a lesson in recent history after her complaint about this week’s Democratic National Convention.
The right-wing host linked to a story in which Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) said Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz have “energized” the party, and predicted plenty of enthusiasm at the event as a result.
“It’ll be like a rock concert,” Pritzker said on CNN. “I think people are going to be cheering and pretty excited.”
Ingraham was unimpressed.
“The ‘rock concert,’ ‘vibey’ DNC is in lieu of a convention where the main players are capable and confident enough to discuss the salient issues,” she wrote on X. “They will entertain you, but you pay for it with lower living standards.”
Critics were quick to point out that last month’s Republican National Convention was light on detailed discussions of “salient issues” and heavy on appearances by celebrities such as singer Kid Rock, model/TV personality Amber Rose and pro wrestler Hulk Hogan, who ripped through a shirt during his speech:
At 54 minutes, Kid Rock’s manifesto on job creation was a tad too long, but when Hulk Hogan echoed similar themes, the seriousness of the RNC was unmistakable. https://t.co/phLQ8Qsror

Y’all were wearing maxi pads on your ears and watching Hulk Hogan rip his shirt off while Rudy Giuliani stumbled over some chairs. https://t.co/9JOJucmMyt

Yes, it will be in stark contrast to the very serious people the Republicans had. Like Hulk Hogan, every member of the Trump family, and whoever Amber Rose is. https://t.co/H27WBCcOAd

Trump has kid Rock and Hulk Hogan at his rallies. Self awareness isn’t your strong suit.

Your party’s convention in Milwaukee was an absolute dumpster fire and rage fest that had no agenda at all.
Not only that, it was the least watched among the American people.
Cope harder, KKKaren.

Yes, Dems need serious people like Hulk Hogan and Amber Rose.

Yah how about that RNC circus — complete with OnlyFans porn stars, fake wrestlers, indicted criminals and rappers awaiting indictment for murder?
Talk about a rock concert! Only just more corrupt.
Laura how do you even have the hutzpah to even make a post like this? Do you…
