She mentioned Hussle then referenced the 2016 YG song “FDT:”

Yesterday in LA thousands lined the streets to say goodbye to rapper Nipsey Hussle. Now, this dear artist recently released a song called “FDT…” F Donald Trump.

Ingraham then played a clip of the video. (Interestingly enough, there was no footage of Nipsey featured.)

“Now that’s a very creative refrain!” Ingraham said with a grin on her face. Guest Raymond Arroyo said, “Very catchy,” adding “Irving Berlin look out.” Ingraham then started to laugh.

She then on went on to say

“The chorus, it goes on and on. Is that related to the lowest unemployment ever, basically, for African Americans?”

Here’s Laura Ingraham mocking a murder victim, just hours after he was laid to rest, because he opposed Trump 3 years ago. (Also, the man rapping in that video is YG, a person who is not Nipsey Hussle.) For shame.pic.twitter.com/02iBYdr5wo
