Laura Ingraham’s Brother Calls Her A ‘Phony Catholic’ In Viral Rant

Laura Ingraham’s brother, a Northern California-based teacher, is continuing his epic war on his famous (and disingenuous) sister. Most recently, he tweeted directly to Ingraham calling her a “phony Catholic” after she attacked Nancy Pelosi’s Catholic faith.

Curtis Ingraham uses Twitter to vent his political frustrations—like many left-leaning users in the Trump era.

To an audience of just a few hundred followers, the Northern California-based teacher expresses outrage at new White House policies, engages with popular #resistance figures like former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum and the Krassenstein brothers, and bashes Trump’s right-wing media cheerleaders on Fox News.

While most of his tweets go largely unnoticed, a few people have taken notice because of what he has to say about one media personality in particular: his sister, Fox News primetime host Laura Ingraham.

“I think she’s a monster,” Curtis repeatedly said in an interview with The Daily Beast.

Since Donald Trump launched his presidential bid in 2015, a number of his prominent backers have faced public hostility from family members critical of Trumpism and the Republican agenda under his watch.

Trump special counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband, longtime Republican operative George Conway, has used his Twitter account to make his displeasure with the administration well-known, despite his wife’s position as a top flack for the president. Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte’s son accused his father of “political grandstanding,” and donated thousands of dollars to the Democratic running for his father's congressional seat. And White House adviser Stephen Miller—an architect of Trump’s most anti-immigration policies—has earned public condemnations from his uncle, elementary school classmate, and childhood rabbi.

Since earlier this year, the elder Ingraham sibling has used his Twitter account for seemingly one purpose: criticizing Laura, whose pro-Trump, hardline stances on immigration and culture-war issues have earned her praise from the president and far-right figures.
