Fox News personality Laura Ingraham’s attempt to mock Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) over his reported makeup spending quickly backfired online. Critics immediately pointed to Donald Trump, whom Ingraham regularly goes to bat for on “The Ingraham Angle” and whose own use of makeup has long drawn attention. Ingraham first slammed Ossoff over his now-viral line about Trump aide Natalie Harp during a recent speech. Harp has become a close aide to the president and is frequently seen by his side. Ingraham called the senator’s remark “bizarre” and “weird” and claimed it was just an attempt to make Ossoff look “tough,” arguing he’s more “about vibes” than accomplishments. She then cited a Washington Free Beacon report that, she said, showed Ossoff “spent more on makeup than any federal candidate this year.” She added, “And beneath all that pancake bronzer and all of that rouge, we have an ambitious man. But one without a core. That’s the most dangerous kind of politician out there.” The “pancake bronzer” and “rouge” remark went viral online.

That last sentence describes trump perfectly . Fox ridiculing men who wear makeup is really something to behold. https://t.co/ZlibtLz6Tq Trump cultist complains about man wearing makeup https://t.co/UazawnIR2c Laura Ingraham is suddenly alarmed by bronzer, makeup, and an ambitious man?
