Fox News host Laura Ingraham isn’t happy with LeBron James for his criticism of President Trump.

She called the basketball star’s recent comments “barely intelligible” and “ungrammatical.”

Her thoughts come after hearing LeBron’s statements in a 16-minute “Uninterrupted” video with Kevin Durant during an Uber ride through downtown Akron.

"The climate is hot. The No. 1 job in America, the appointed person is someone who doesn't understand the people, and really don't give a f--- about the people," he said.

The video was recorded in January.

Ingraham issued the following response on TV: “Unfortunately, a lot of kids and some adults take these ignorant comments seriously. Look, there might be a cautionary lesson in LeBron for kids: This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA. It’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball. LeBron and Kevin, you’re great players, but no one voted for you. Millions elected Trump to be their coach, so keep the political commentary to yourself. Or as someone once said, ‘Shut up and dribble.’”
