  • People are boycotting companies that advertise on Laura Ingraham's show after she was accused of making racist comments on air. 
  • During her show on Wednesday, Ingraham said that the "America we know and love doesn't exist anymore." According to Ingraham, this is because of "demographic changes" that she blamed on illegal and legal immigration.
  • This is the third time Ingraham's show has been boycotted in the past six months.

For the third time in six months, Fox News host Laura Ingraham is being targeted by a boycott.

During her Wednesday show, Ingraham said that the "America we know and love doesn't exist anymore." She attributed this to "demographic changes" that she blamed on illegal and legal immigration.

"Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people. They're changes none of us ever voted for, and most of us don't like," she said, citing "both illegal and, in some cases, legal immigration."

Ingraham was immediately called out on social media for her comments. Now, people are urging the companies that advertise on her show to cut ties with her.

 

This is the third time that Ingraham and her advertisers have come under fire in recent months. In March, David Hogg, the student who survived the February shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, called for a boycott of her advertisers after the host mocked Hogg by saying he "whines" about college rejections. More than a dozen brands later said they would pull their ads from the show.

In June, Hogg called for a renewed boycott after Ingraham downplayed how the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy was affecting children at the US-Mexico border. Many criticized the detention centers for the migrant children as abusive, while Ingraham said they were being "temporarily housed in what are essentially summer camps."
