Laura Ingraham, host of “The Ingraham Angle,” followed in her Fox News colleagues’ ill-fated footsteps on Tuesday afternoon when she openly endorsed two Republican candidates in close races. Just a couple of hours before, Fox News had issued a statement criticizing hosts Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro for hopping onstage with President Donald Trump at a Monday evening campaign rally. The network called the hosts' move an “unfortunate distraction” that “has been addressed,” but did not specify what action it had taken. “Fox News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events,” the network said. As criticism of Hannity and Pirro continued to build, Ingraham tweeted out a pair of endorsements: one for Connecticut gubernatorial hopeful Bob Stefanowski (R) and another for incumbent Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas).
