Newsmax TV host Eric Bolling took great exception to a remark from Fox News host Laura Ingraham, a former colleague, about voters potentially being so “exhausted” that they are ready “to turn the page” on former President Donald Trump.

Ingraham appeared on “The Truth With Lisa Boothe” podcast and suggested that the country might be ready to move on from Trump, who is likely to run again in 2024.
“People conflate Trump with people’s overall sense of happiness in the country. Donald Trump’s been a friend of mine for 25 years, and I’m always very open about this on my show,” she said. “But, you know we’ll see whether that’s what the country wants. The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”
Bolling zeroed in on Ingraham’s take after commenting on the FBI’s unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, suggesting that “the more we hear about it, the more the lies will be uncovered.”
“And yet even those who are supposedly on the right side of things like to say it’s about the time to have given up on Donald Trump. Maybe they gave up on the man,” he said, turning his attention to Ingraham.
“Much like the organization she works for, Fox News’ Laura Ingraham seems to have thrown in the proverbial Trump towel,” Bolling said, before running a clip of her remarks.
“No, Laura, respectfully, I beg to differ — the Democrats,” a disgusted Bolling then said. “Laura, a friend of mine. Solid, solid Trump supporter, even spoke at the [Republican] National Convention for Trump. What do you mean, no Trump? What’s wrong with you?
“The Democrats are hoping to divide and conquer us, but they’re doing the opposite,” he concluded.
