Laura Ingraham Squees: GOP So Unified Now!

By Heather — January 17, 2024

Fox's Laura Ingraham does her best to put a happy face on the Iowa caucus results. There was record low turnout, with only110,000, or just under 15% of the state's 752,000 registered Republicans attending, with 11% overall and 43% of Nikki Haley's voters saying they'd vote for Biden over Trump in the general election, but Ingraham wants to tell us how well this bodes for Trump.

INGRAHAM: Now look, unless something unthinkable happens, Donald Trump is going to be the nominee of the Republican party, and the party is more unified now behind him and his policies than at any time since the Reagan years or maybe, maybe right after 9/11.

Now, this is not spin. It's the truth.

Which means it's spin.

Here are some of the responses from Twitter:

The candidates running against him in his own party got almost as many votes as he did. In IOWA!

When Frau Ingraham says, "This is not spin, it's the truth" you can safely believe the opposite is true.

A staggering 11% of Republican Iowa caucus-goers said they’d vote for Biden if Trump is the nominee but okay. https://t.co/EimxKAmuEd

This is the honest soul who, on Fox, claimed publicly that the insurrectionists were "Antifa", while privately texting Mark Meadows that “the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home."
Ingraham's a liar and a con artist, just like her Fuhrer.

Republican Party seems pretty split to me @IngrahamAngle. pic.twitter.com/fHLN6wFMyT

Per Iowa January 2024 voter rolls:

TOTAL registered: 2,203,718
TOTAL Republicans: 752,249 (14.4% of all voters)
TOTAL Iowa Votes: 110,298 (14.7% of Republicans; 5% of total electorate)

So now 15% of Iowa Republicans becomes a mandate. Got it. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/ezDhQ4l9HS

"And the party is more unified now behind Trump and his policies than at any time since the Reagan years or maybe, maybe right after 9/11."

Unified you say??
49% of Iowa Caucus participants did NOT vote for Trump.

The party voted in two Speakers of the House in the past 12 months.

It took 127 attempts to vote in the first guy, and then the party fired him.

Now the party is already talking about firing the second guy, too.

"Unified". Yeah, that's the word I would choose, too.
