Ingraham defended, among other fringe right-wingers, a man named Paul Nehlen. Click here for the complete article, but here are a couple of paragraphs from CNN's Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" column:
Nehlen’s racism has been well-documented, and it’s nothing short of disgusting. In April, for instance, he appeared on a podcast and admitted to wearing a shirt featuring Robert Bowers, the man accused of killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
"Because, I want to make a point that it will ultimately take -- it might not take a million Robert Bowers -- but it's going to take a lot of people all pushing in the same direction to do what needs to be done, and that is to rid white lands of Jews," Nehlen said on the podcast. "Because they are going to undermine our ability to thrive as a race. They are going to wipe us off the face of the earth."
Nehlen has also shared fringe conspiracy theories, including the idea that Bill and Hillary Clinton are murderers. He is so toxic that even Gab, a platform used by members of the alt-right, banned him. In 2017, the far-right website Breitbart also publicly severed ties with him. Not exactly a mainstream conservative!
