Fox News host who told Lebron James to 'shut up and dribble' says: 'There was no racial intent in my remarks'

Last week, Fox News host Laura Ingraham was accused of racism when she criticized NBA star Lebron James‘ comments about President Donald Trump in web series Rolling With the Champion.

“Must they run their mouths like that?” she said on her talk show The Ingraham Angle last Thursday. “This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA. Keep the political commentary to yourself. Or as someone once said, shut up and dribble.” After critics called her comments racially charged, Ingraham defended her remarks.
