Fox News<\/span>‘ star\u00a0Laura Ingraham<\/span>‘s show\u00a0mistook one black woman for another live on-air, then made light of the embarrassing error.<\/p>\n

Ingraham, 61, showed a graphic of Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, confusing her with\u00a0New York Attorney General Letitia James<\/span>\u00a0on Monday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the anchor subtly addressed the confusion, downplaying the error as she said she mixed up two women who ‘both hate Trump.’<\/p>\n

‘Earlier in the Angle, we accidentally showed a graphic that had a photo of another vicious anti-Trump figure, Letitia James, when we were talking about Fani Willis,’ Ingraham said<\/p>\n

‘So that was our mistake, but they both hate Trump.’<\/p>\n

Ingraham made the mistake as she was discussing the legal cases against Trump, which she described as ‘fraudulent.’<\/p>\n

‘History\u2019s gonna remember Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and the judges who let these cases get as far as they did, as modern day Keystone Cops, who chased Trump around, hounding him, 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.<\/p>\n

Social media users were quick to jump on Ingraham’s mistake, with many accusing her of racism.<\/p>\n

James, the AG of New York, successfully sued Trump and his businesses for fraud’Bigotry on full display,’ actor an activist George Takei wrote on X.<\/p>\n

‘Laura Ingraham keeps misidentifying photos of Black people because she thinks they all look the same,’ X user Paul Rudnick said.<\/p>\n

‘Like the blonde women with sleeveless dresses and too much makeup who work for Fox News.<\/p>\n

Ingraham has previously mixed up two black men – earlier this year she was talking about Nathan Wade but showed an image of his lawyer, Terrence Bradly, instead.<\/p>\n

Willis’ election interference case against Trump was\u00a0dropped on Monday after it was put indefinitely on hold over her romantic relationship with Wade, her top prosecutor.<\/span><\/p>\n

James, on her part,\u00a0won a $454million civil fraud judgment against the incoming president, after accusing him of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to get better loan and insurance terms.<\/p>\n

The former president has since appealed the massive ruling, and appeal court judges\u00a0had tough questions for New York prosecutors in September, signaling they may side with Trump in the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, while Trump was convicted in New York for making hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, the sentencing in that case is on hold as Trump\u2019s lawyers try to have the conviction dismissed before he takes office, arguing that letting the verdict stand will interfere with his presidential transition and duties<\/p>\n
