Fox's Ingraham: Mamdani's Plan To Rein In Slum Landlords Will Lead To 'Mass Killings'

Apparently everyone on Fox loves them some New York slum landlords.

As Media Matters reported:

After New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plans to make affordable housing more available in the city, Fox News personalities and guests fixated on the plan’s efforts combating negligent landlords. They declared that enforcement against negligent landlords amounted to “public theft,” said it was a “throwback to Stalin,” and ranted that legal action to turn over properties from them to more responsible stewards will lead to “mass killing” and similar atrocities.

One of the worst examples they cited was Laura Ingraham from this Wednesday, where she and her guest Bruce Blakeman served up this nasty bit of red baiting for her viewers:

INGRAHAM: If Mamdani is the new Democrat North Star, the debate over socialism is already over. The party has moved past it. And that means your future under Democrat rule could get a lot worse.

This isn't socialism — this is trending toward full-scale communism. They don't call him "commie Mamdani" for nothing.

Desi Lydic Hilariously Explains Trump's 'Ball-Room'

TDS's Desi Lydic is killing it.

Desi highlights the insanity by Republicans and Fox News to try to claim Americans need the ballroom.

LYDIC: The ballroom obviously needs to be built.

The ballroom is really necessary at this moment.

A ballroom is imperative.

That is why we need the ballroom.

Donald Trump needs a beautiful new building to hold his magnificent balls.

She has very funny videos posted on YouTube.

LYDIC: People should come to him.

It's a national security issue.

Think about it.

The White House has never had a ballroom, and 40 of America's presidents aren't alive anymore.

Coincidence?

People should come to Donald Trump, like a zoo animal.

You'd be lucky to pay 50 cents to feed the president a cup of pellets.

It is too risky for Donald Trump to leave the White House and be out in the open unless it's for his daily nine hours of golf.

Well said.
