Fox News host Laura Ingraham's recent critique of Senator Jon Ossoff's reported spending on makeup has generated online backlash, with critics pointing to former President Donald Trump's own widely noted use of cosmetics. Ingraham, a vocal supporter of Trump, raised the issue during a segment on "The Ingraham Angle."
Ingraham's commentary followed remarks made by Ossoff regarding Trump aide Natalie Harp. Describing Ossoff's comments as "bizarre" and "weird," Ingraham suggested the senator was prioritizing image over substance.
She then cited a report from the Washington Free Beacon, stating that Ossoff had "spent more on makeup than any federal candidate this year." Ingraham further remarked, "And beneath all that pancake bronzer and all of that rouge, we have an ambitious man. But one without a core. That’s the most dangerous kind of politician out there."
The specific phrasing "pancake bronzer" and "rouge" quickly became a focal point on social media. Many users responded by drawing parallels to Trump, whose own makeup application has been a subject of public discussion and commentary, often highlighted by his political opponents and media critics.
