Democrats 'treat everyone like children and ground us for absolutely no reason,' Fox News host says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Democrats at all levels of government have "declared war on fun," and appear to be violating Americans' right to "the pursuit of happiness" enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, Laura Ingraham claimed Thursday.

"Yet everywhere you look in blue-state America, they are trying to keep you from living, from exercising your freedom, from deciding your own path to happiness," she continued, adding that the only section of the population currently allowed to exercise that right appears to be Antifa.
"In [that] case," Ingraham stated sardonically, "You are free to set fires, beat people up, harass diners in restaurants, or harass suburbanites as they sleep."

"Remember the hustle and bustle of New York City?" she asked. "Broadway, the galas, New York City Marathon, the hopping restaurant scene. How many 'I Love New York t-shirts are vendors selling these days?"
