Laura Ingraham sharply criticized Scott Pelley as a “snob” after revealing she briefly worked with him at CBS News.
“I had a short stint at CBS News as a commentator in the late 1980s and overlapped with Pelley when he was White House correspondent,” Ingraham said. “We only exchanged a few words in the hallway — nothing significant.”
“He may not remember me — I was just a lowly peon — but I remember him clearly. He carried himself like a snob, with an aura that he was above everyone else.”
Ingraham added that she found his attitude surprising given his background: “Not what I expected from a man born in San Antonio. Texans of his generation are usually much more in touch with how real Americans think — something the new CBS News president, Bari Weiss, appears to be trying to tap into.”
