Fox News star Laura Ingraham mistook one black woman for another live broadcast and then tried to downplay the embarrassing mistake.
Ingraham, 61, confused Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis with New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle.
Moments later, the host subtly addressed the confusion, downplaying the mistake when she said she had mixed up two women who “both hate Trump.”
“Earlier on The Angle, we accidentally showed an image with a photo of another vicious anti-Trump figure, Letitia James, when talking about Fani Willis,” Ingraham said.
“So that was our mistake, but they both hate Trump.”
Ingraham made the mistake when discussing the lawsuits against Trump, which she described as “fraudulent.”
“History will remember Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis and the judges who let these cases get as far as today’s Keystone Cops, hounding Trump, hounding him and trying to keep him off the campaign trail because they hated his agenda the controversial conservative said as she sowed an image of James instead.
Social media users were quick to call out Ingraham’s mistake, with many accusing her of racism.

Willis’ election interference case against Trump was dismissed Monday after it was suspended indefinitely because of her romantic relationship with Wade, her top accuser.
James, for her part, won a $454 million civil fraud case against the new president after accusing him of inflating his wealth by billions of dollars to get better loan and insurance terms.
The former president has since appealed the sweeping ruling, and appeals court judges had tough questions for New York prosecutors in September, suggesting they could side with Trump in the case.
Meanwhile, while Trump was convicted in New York of making hush-hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, the sentencing in that case is on hold as Trump’s lawyers try to have the conviction thrown out before he takes office, arguing that allowing it to stand verdict will hinder the presidential transition and duties

The decision was inevitable because long-standing Justice Department policy says that sitting presidents cannot face criminal charges.
