Laura Ingraham accused Democrats and left-wingers Wednesday of trying to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to remake America into a "progressive society."
"It's hard to imagine that there are actually people out there who seem happier when most of America is miserable and conversely, they're miserable when most of you are happy," "The Ingraham Angle" host began.

The host accused "the left" of wanting to remake America because they are unhappy with Trump.

Ingraham used the a New York Times op-ed to back her thesis.
