Controversies
While appearing on ” The Ingraham Angle” on FOX on June 21, 2018 she defended Trump administration’s practice of separating immigrant families arrested crossing the US border. She said, “The detention centers are far safer than the journey that these children just came on, and I will say this…people aren’t stupid. I spoke to some African-Americans who say, ‘Gosh, the conditions of the detention centers are better than some of the projects that I grew up in.'”
While appearing on Fox & Friends alongside Brian Kilmeade she said that the West proved the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “We should have never provoked them.I mean, they made it very clear that there was a red line. The red line was neutrality for Ukraine, that they not enter NATO. And in the end, if they get this peace agreement … that’s probably going to be the case anyway … that Ukraine will promise to be neutral.”
In August 2021 she criticized President Joe Biden for the Taliban retaking of Afghanistan, blaming his “mental state” for the event. She also blamed the first Lady Jill Biden for letting him run for president. “Who are the people responsible for putting someone this incompetent and frankly this mentally frail in this position. …I”m sorry, as a political spouse, I can’t help but look at Jill Biden. No one knew better his state of mind than Dr. Jill Biden. And if you ask me the most patriotic thing Jill Biden could have done was tell her husband, to love her husband, and not let him run in the mental state that he is in. I think she failed the country as well.”
