The hosts of The View on Wednesday railed against Fox News star Laura Ingraham for her attempt to connect the Uvalde mass shooting to “pot psychosis,” glibly asking “what is she on?!”

Following the shootings at Robb Elementary, in which an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, conservatives have blamed everything from “wokeness” to critical race theory for the massacre. At the same time, while dismissing additional gun safety measures, they have proposed a series of insane solutions that include door control, “man traps” and “ballistic blankets.”

In keeping with the conservative pivot away from focusing on guns, Ingraham on Tuesday evening went full-on “Reefer Madness,” insisting there is a clear link between marijuana use and mass shootings. Claiming that the Uvalde gunman “was a user,” Ingraham then asked: “Why aren’t people in general not talking more about the pot psychosis-violent behavior connection?”

The primetime Fox host also took issue with gun-safety advocates pushing for more restrictions, wondering why they are pushing for more gun laws while being “completely oblivious to what the legalization of marijuana has done and is doing to an entire generation of Americans with violent consequences.”

At the top of Wednesday's broadcast of The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg noted that while calls have grown louder for bans on assault-style weapons following the Uvalde tragedy, “there are still many conservatives who say guns are not the issue.”

That's not any worse than blaming it on guns.

What are you talking about Steve? can you be more specific? what are you talking about?

To put the blame on weed and to put the blame on guns are equally irrational. Do you understand now Ron?

As far as weed is a concern in the mass shootings across the nation is not the issue

Guns and gun laws are the blame for the school killings in Texas and not weed. You smoke weed, do you think about gunning down unknown people shopping or kids in school?

Steve, Do you agree that an 18-year-old person can go and buy an AR-15 without going through a federal background check anywhere in the U.S.?
