For those of you who have never seen Charles Krauthammer get schooled by a fellow journalist – here you go…
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham just absolutely destroyed Charles Krauthammer on the 14th amendment and anchor babies tonight on Special Report.
Charles Krauthammer: The issue of anchor babies or birthright citizenship, it is a sideshow because it’s a symptom…
Laura Ingraham: There’s quite a debate about whether the 14th Amendment has to be repealed. I know a lot of people glibly say… That’s not actually been settled and you could do a whole hour on the jurisprudence surrounding that.
Krauhammer: It’s been around for 150 years.
Ingraham: Well, we actually didn’t have a problem with illegal immigration in the 1800s as we know. That wasn’t an issue. It was directed at the slaves who did deserve to stay here. So, it really was an important clause and the author of the clause Howard Jacob said it didn’t apply to foreigners in the United States. But, you know, this is a long conversation… And I know Trump’s rise annoys a lot of people now. And I get it. But the people in this town who have been propping up two parties that have failed the Middle Class, failed them on these global trade deals… that have absolutely not delivered what they promised to deliver to the Middle Class, failed them on enforcing the border, failed them on all these ideas that America was going to export its values around the world… They’re ready to throw in with the guy who has all these conflicting positions maybe because the guys who said they were going to be consistent weren’t. And they’re not fighting for the people.
Krauthammer: It’s easy to go and attack Washington and it’s a clever dodge. The issue here is birthright citizenship…
Ingraham: And Bush and Obama didn’t stop it. Neither stopped it. Neither did McConnell or Boehner when they had the chance. They’re not stopping it. People are tired of it.
Wow. That was brutal.
Never has Charles Krauthammer sounded more like a Wshington elitist than he did tonight.

Saw it. I have new respect for her.
Kraut worked for Carter. When Carter kicks the bucket, will he give a candlelight vigil?
It sure would help to have a link to the video, in spite of what it says at the end of the posting, it isn’t there.
There’s so many scumbag demoncrats pretending to be Conservatives in the media and in congress.
I can’t think of anyone at fox save Hannity that wasn’t a two time Ogabe voter. That includes the drooling Krauthummer, Megyn Kelly, and Ted Baxter.
Local talk show host needs to be schooled on this. He claimed the 14th amendment means illegal alien woman can have a baby here and the baby is a citizen. Its the law he said. Clicked off the radio. The ignorance was giving me a headache.
Kraut went absolutely nuts. He kept babbling about deportation being impossible and that Anchor Babies had been the law for a century and a half, over and over, and over.
My wife of 38 years knows that Laura is My Girl. Tonight, My Girl OWNED Charles!
The Kraut Hammer was nailed.
Observe Krauthammer’s facial blankness as Laura lays it on. The Washington Establishment guy gets a punch to the stomach from Laura and has the wind knocked out of him.
Laura understands that Mark Levin is right on this issue. I usually agree with The Kraut but he was wrong tonight.
“And I get it. But the people in this town who have been propping up two parties that have failed the Middle Class, failed them on these global trade deals… that have absolutely not delivered what they promised to deliver to the Middle Class...”
I don’t think ‘failed the middle class’ is quite the right way to put it, either. We, as Americans, expect our laws to be upheld & rational policy to be instituted. Allowing an invasion is injurious to the average person (not the middle class only, the working poor as well) - through more crime, less availability of jobs, more taxpayer dollars wasted. That’s what we in the ‘middle class’ see going on.
‘Twas a thing of great beauty.
Dr. K just doesn’t get it and Laura does. I’ve been watching Fox News from the first day it showed up and this is easily the worst Smackdown ever for the (formerly) good doctor.
Krauthammer Is simply losing it in this election cycle. He is dead wrong more often than he is even close to being right.
About damn time for someone to rip into Count Chocula instead of that sickening reverence they keep showing him.
“It’s been around for 150 years.”
I think Krauthammer knows he is being dishonest when he offered that comment. Surely, he has heard what Levin and plenty of others have said.
Kraut is not a constitutional expert. The word jurisdiction does not mean what he thinks it means. :-)
You would have thought he was talking about the Trail of Tears from his sentimental and nonsensical comments.
I saw it too. Krauthammer missed the whole point, but she nailed it home anyhow.

I’m loving it! Trump, a “New Yorkah’’ is exposing Republicans and Marxist/Socialist(Democrats) for what they really are- two sides of the same coin. It would really be funny if it weren’t so sad that the supposed ‘’conservative’’ Republicans who are running are nothing more that RINOs in different shades. I hope Trump goes all the way.
