"You should be fired period."

Justin Bieber is the latest artist to put FOX News and Laura Ingraham on blast for her comments on the late Nipsey Hussle. Ingraham mocked the rapper shortly after he was laid to rest last week. While she doesn't appear to feel any remorse for speaking ill on the dead, Bieber's joined a list of celebrities who want her off of FOX.

"Laura Ingraham absolutely disgusting what you did on national television," he said. "How dare you laugh in the face of a person who has passed on. Doesn’t matter who it is. But disrespecting someone’s who was a pillar in the community and did right by people? Did you not think about the family who just lost a love one and now have to see you mock him on national television It’s absurd and you should be fired period."

Ingraham sarcastically referred to Nipsey as "this dear artist" before playing a portion of "FDT" -- the part of the song that didn't feature Nipsey. 

"OK, that's a very creative refrain," she said. "The chorus that goes on and on, is that related to lowest unemployment ever, basically, for African-Americans?"

Ingraham's track record indicates that she has issues with people of color, especially those who are empowering themselves and their communities. She's previously dismissed Lebron James and Kevin Durant for their political stance because they're athletes. Her extroverted claims are those of a person who remains in denial, yet hopes to convince themselves of the opposite.
