'What a Monster!' Laura Ingraham Called Out by her Gay Brother
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
How about a little sibling squabble?
Laura Ingraham went off on opponents of the "Don't Say Gay" law on her show last week, citing a Brietbart article that claims leftist educators are imposing a queer-inclusive curriculum on students from the elementary level on.
"It's dubbed a queer inclusive curriculum. It's being secretly rolled out without parents' knowledge by the National Association of Independent Schools," she claimed. "Gone are the days when they're just teaching about human reproduction. Now by fifth grade, they're taught about sexual expression."
But her gay older brother is having none of it. Curtis Ingraham tweeted a pointed response to his sister's comments. "This is rich coming from my Putin-loving sister who seems okay with children being killed in Ukraine. Looks like she has a new trope in hand to further rile and anger her followers. What a monster!"
This isn't the first time the siblings have clashed. In a 2018 interview with the Daily Beast, Curtis Ingraham said repeatedly: "I think she's a monster."
In another tweet he wrote: "We grew up with an abusive, alcoholic father who was a Nazi sympathizer. Like father like daughter?! This was the familial soil that gave bloom to my sister's anger."
"She's very smart, she's well spoken, but her emotional heart is just kind of dead," he said. "And you see it in her face when you see her on TV. She's ready to destroy. She does not listen to understand –she listens to respond. And her response is always an attack," he told the Daily Beast.
The point of the Twitter account, Curtis said, is not to air out his sibling rivalry or resentments. Rather, he uses it to point out how she has disappointed her older brother.
"The reason I'm sharing these details is because of what is happening in our country," Curtis said. "I feel like a bit of a whistle-blower in trying to unveil hypocrisy."
He added: "Our country has been thrown into this divisive state. So now I feel like I have got to speak out, I've got to speak out for my own sanity."
