Laura Ingraham Mocks ‘Liberal Freakout’ Over Louisiana Ten Commandments Law: ‘Let’s Just Push Pot and Transgenderism’

Fox News host Laura Ingraham lambasted the backlash to Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signing a bill that forces public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, saying “Cue the liberal freakout.”

Ingraham, who called the Ten Commandments a “historical” document, roundly mocked those who pointed out the blatant violation of the First Amendment during her show on Thursday. After playing a series of clips from CNN that included a bit about how schools should be “teaching kids how to read and write, not indoctrinating them” with a “moral agenda,” Ingraham stated sarcastically: “Yeah, let’s just push pot and transgenderism. That’s worked well.”

Before bringing on her guest, Louisiana State Rep. Dodie Horton (R), who was behind the Ten Commandments bill, Ingraham tried to remove the religious element of the Ten Commandments despite its Judeo-Christian origins:

Well, the historical significance of the Ten Commandments, of course, can’t be understated. They’ve been the guiding principles of Western civilization for thousands of years, and heavily influenced the Founding Fathers and the very documents that established our country. Which is why it makes sense that Louisiana governor just signed a new law requiring schools to display them in every classroom starting January 1st.

Never mind that the Founding Fathers founded the country on not pushing any one religion on its citizens, or that the first Europeans fled their homes to seek religious freedom. That’s less historically significant, I guess.
