Tuesday night Fox News' Laura Ingraham took election scare tactics to a new level when she said Santa Claus will not come if Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the election.
The host of The Ingraham Angle also warned "your traveling days are over" if Donald Trump loses the election next week.

Ingraham said:
"So long Thanksgiving turkey..."
"...and Santa and his reindeer are not coming to your rooftop under Biden next year."
Some think Ingraham was resembling another holiday character.
Does Laura Ingraham aka The Grinch still believe in Santa 🤔? These people have lost their minds. https://t.co/uQsLhWmOdB pic.twitter.com/R7oUqDW7bJ

Ingraham's jab at former Vice President Biden was over his statement saying he will listen to the advice from scientists about lockdown procedures to slow the spread of the virus.
Biden's plan contrasts with President Trump's handling of the crisis as the virus spread quickly throughout the country claiming over 228,000 lives. Trump supporters, such as Ingraham, allege if Biden wins the election long term lockdowns will be implemented.
Ingraham used this reasoning as the reason why Santa would not be able to travel despite the fact President Trump would remain in the White House through Christmas until after the inauguration January 20, 2021.
Twitter delivered in reactions to Ingraham's bizarre claim.
@IngrahamAngle you're really reaching for the 'fear Biden' tactic. 225,000 peoplewill be missed at Christmas this year, parents cannot afford gifts because of loss of work, McConnell blocked a 2nd stimulus pymt because Amy is more important. ALL HAPPENING UNDER TRUMP PRESIDENCY. pic.twitter.com/BMsoUSczGw

@SouthernCoca Laura Ingraham is one very sad person now bringing Santa Claus in to this political humbugs this is ridiculous why is she even still working

Santa doesn't visit my Jewish home, nor any of my relatives. Sorry, Laura, not everyone is a Christian. Even Trump's daughter & son-in-law are also Jewish; so I'm not sure if they'll have some Christian Christmas at their house, or not.

Does she think her audience is the under 10 crowd??

The sad part of this whole message by her. Is she uses what they respond to. Fantasy and indoctrinated images.

@IngrahamAngle Psssst...Laura - Santa's not real.
Stop spewing this BS! 225k+ are DEAD under Trump's watch. I don't blame him for the pandemic, but I blame him for mishandling it& his lack of empathy. We ALL wish things were back to normal, but they're not. Just stop it!

Umm, @FoxNews Laura Ingraham does understand that Trump will still be president in December, yes? She does realize that Biden won't be stopping "Santa Claus" from visiting doesn't she? Does someone need to have *that* talk with her?

What frustrates me about this rancid style of politics is that it is all built on a platform of fear and terror.
Trump is so devoid of hope and a positive vision for the USA that the only option he has is to lie about Joe Biden and scare voters into voting for him or not at all.

Ghastly lie. Because of the horrible economy caused by Donald, please donate generously to any toy drive in your area this season. Let's make sure kids have a Christmas despite all the damage he's done. Toys for Tots!

This season will be especially hard for many Americans suffering from the impact of the pandemic. However Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell adjourned the Senate before ever considering additional pandemic relief for taxpayers.
Perhaps Ingraham should focus on that instead of Santa's travel plans.
