LeBron James Exposes And Calls Out Laura Ingraham’s Hypocrisy, Holds Her Accountable

In 2018, Uninterrupted posted a video of LeBron James and Kevin Durant riding in an Uber, talking about politics. In this video, LeBron James went off on president Donald Trump, saying that he ‘doesn’t give a f**k about people’.

“Well, the climate is hot. The number-one job in America, the appointed person, is someone who doesn’t understand the people. And really don’t give a f**k about the people.”

This video led to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham going off on LeBron James and Kevin Durant on air. She said:

“I’m numb to this commentary, like! Must they run their mouths like that? Unfortunately, a lot of kids and some adults take these ignorant comments seriously. Look, there might be a cautionary lesson in LeBron for kids. This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA. And it’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid a hundred million dollars a year to bounce a ball. Oh and LeBron and Kevin? You’re great players but no one voted for you. Millions elected Trump to be their coach. So keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone once said, “shut up and dribble”.

Now, a recent video of Ingraham went viral in which she is responding to Drew Brees’ controversial statement on athletes kneeling during the national anthem. In this video, Ingraham said that the New Orleans Saints quarterback is ‘allowed to have an opinion’.

“He’s allowed to have his view about what kneeling and the flag means to him. He’s a person.”

“I mean, this is beyond football, though,” she said. “This is totalitarian conduct. This is Stalinist!”

This hypocrisy and blatant double standard – dismissing LeBron’s comments on one side, but allowing Brees to share his views can’t be unseen. LeBron James himself didn’t want to let the discrepancy go without any comments; so he called Ingraham out and held her accountable.
