Laura Ingraham mocks Nipsey Hussle during his burial
TV host Laura Ingraham has made mocking remarks directed at slain musician and community activist Nipsey Hussle during her Fox News show The Ingraham Angle on Friday night.
The right-wing commentator, who has previously faced boycott campaigns for mean-spirited remarks, smiled and laughed as she pounced on the rapper’s hit song “FDT,” which blasts President Donald Trump. The track, recorded by Hussle and rapper YG, was released in 2016.
Ingraham then played a clip of the song, which became an anthem at protests during the 2016 presidential campaign and the rash of protests that followed Trump’s inauguration.
Ingraham focused on the song’s chorus, which repeatedly uses the phrase “f*ck Donald Trump.” As she spoke, the lower-third of the screen featured a text chyron that read: “Nipsey Hussle’s Wholesome Song Featuring Donald Trump.” “Now that’s a very creative refrain!” Ingraham joked.
“Yesterday in L.A., thousands lined the streets to say goodbye to rapper Nipsey Hussle,” Ingraham announced, grinning. “Now this dear artist recently released a song called ‘FDT’ – F Donald Trump.”
