Fox News host Laura Ingraham wants LeBron James to stick to sports.

On Thursday, Ingraham called James out after the Cleveland Cavaliers star made some disparaging remarks about President Trump. In a recent interview with ESPN's Cari Champion for Uninterrupted, James and his Golden State Warriors rival Kevin Durant were asked about Trump. James said Trump not only "doesn't understand the people," but that he also "[doesn't] give a f--k about the people." He and Durant additionally both expressed dismay over what they perceive as Trump's racism, with James saying Trump's comments are no longer a surprise, which is "laughable — and it's scary."
