This rare occurrence took place on Thursday morning&#8217;s episode of the <em>&#8220;Faulkner Focus&#8221;<\/em> during a segment in which some recent political remarks by Elon Musk were discussed. Musk has been in the news lately as a result of his bid to acquire Twitter, which is rapidly going downhill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52912\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elon Musk\u2019s Bid for Twitter is in Big Trouble, and So is Trump\u2019s TRUTH Social<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to making profoundly idiotic comments that put his Twitter bid and other businesses at risk, Musk thought this would be a good time to expose his political ignorance, dishonesty, and biases. So <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1526997132858822658\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division &#038; hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Comparing that comment to reality, we find that Musk actually donated heavily to Republicans. And notice the dates on these donations &#8211; January 4-8, 2021 &#8211; just before and after Donald Trump&#8217;s insurrection at the Capitol.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">These your political contributions <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@elonmusk<\/a> ?

Democrats are still the party that gave us healthcare, provides food and other necessities for the poor and middle class, protects the environment, fights for women and minorities, and defends democracy in the U.S. and around the world.<\/p>\n<p>It is those principles that were featured in the brief remarks of Kristal Knight, a Democratic pundit who appeared on <em>&#8220;The Faulkner Focus&#8221;<\/em> on Fox News Thursday <em>(video below)<\/em>. Responding to the wingnuts on the program, Knight said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s very interesting that Elon Musk thinks that the Democratic Party is the party of hate when the Republican Party produced a failed insurrection on January 6th. This is also the party that supported the &#8216;Big Lie.&#8217; We also see that Gregg Locke down in Tennessee has been preaching anti-Democratic rhetoric in the name of religion because he doesn&#8217;t like Democrats. We also have to remember the &#8216;great replacement&#8217; theory, that has been spewed on this network alone &#8211; and the Buffalo shooter referenced it &#8211; these are all remnants of the Republican Party. That&#8217;s the party of hate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So in about one minute Knight nailed some of the most flagrant flaws of the Republican Party. She even managed to slip in the fact that Fox News &#8211; via their Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson &#8211; has been America&#8217;s most prominent proponent of the <em>&#8220;white replacement theory&#8221;<\/em> that incited the mass shooting in Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52944\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">White Replacement Theory Huckster Tucker Carlson Now Says He\u2019s \u2018Not Sure Exactly What It Is\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unusual, and somewhat astonishing, that Knight managed to get through her commentary without being interrupted and cut off. Host Harris Faulkner and her other guest, conservative Charlie Hurt, must have been napping on the job, But they still wound up dismissing Knight&#8217;s criticisms and even condemned her for politicizing a massacre that was unambiguously political in its motivation and execution. Which is what they always do when they have no substantive response to the unvarnished truth &#8211; especially about themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
