YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFox News host Laura Ingraham went on a deranged rant linking the Uvalde, Texas mass shooting to the gunman’s alleged cannabis use, as well as blaming it for the mass shooting problem our country is facing. Ingraham is intentionally pandering to her ultraconservative, older audience members and even in 2022, people are still falling for this nonsense about cannabis use. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Fox News’ Laura Ingraham used her latest monologue to argue that marijuana is to blame for America’s problem with mass shootings.
The Fox host focused her Tuesday night show on the Uvalde shooting and the warning signs from the shooter who killed 19 children and 2 adults at Robb Elementary School. As Ingraham discussed the commonalities between mass shootings in the United States, she made the point that “a dysfunctional home life where drugs are easily accessible puts too many young people on a highway to Hell these days.”
Airing a graphic claiming the pot industry was part of how Democrats “set the stage” for shootings, Ingraham ran a claim from the Daily Mail that the New York Times originally reported the Uvalde shooter to be a pot-smoker, but they “mysteriously” omitted that detail in their online reports.
“Why is that?” Ingraham asked. “Was it bad information or is that the pro-marijuana bias we’ve been accustomed to, that’s so powerful because billions are on the line with it nationwide. So is the story now irrelevant? We reached out to the Times on this, but they have not responded.”
Diverting from the current national conversation about gun control, Ingraham continued to stress that “pot use, especially among teens, can trigger psychosis and increase the chance that the young person will develop violent behaviors.” She kept on this argument by referencing sources like anti-vax Covid-truther Alex Berenson, plus the Association of Mature American Citizens, a conservative organization with a study that argues weed has been connected to multiple shootings in the last few years."
