Fox News personality Laura Ingraham set off a firestorm of criticism on Monday night after she complained about fleeing Afghani refugees being brought to the United States to escape the Taliban takeover of their country.
As thousands of Afghans -- fearing retaliation and murder squads -- rushed to the airport in the hopes of escaping to America, Ingraham questioned letting them into the United States by asking, "Is it really our responsibility to welcome thousands of un-vetted refugees from Afghanistan?"
Her comments, as women and girls in Afghanistan hope to escape the clutches of the Taliban, led to the critics of the Fox host to explode in anger.
