Tucker Carlson\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49941\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Following the attempted murder of Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Musk posted a tweet that spread a blatantly false conspiracy theory about the assault that was published by a notoriously fake news outlet. There was immediate revulsion and condemnation of Musk&#8217;s malicious comment, which led to his eventually deleting the tweet. Although, like Donald Trump, he never issued a correction or apology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELTAED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55225\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Delusional, Desperate, and (as Always), Dishonest Response to Musk\u2019s Twitter Takeover<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that even Musk recognized that his tweet deserved deletion, Fox News Senior Fascista, Tucker Carlson, remained enamored of Musk and the grotesque remarks he made. On Monday night&#8217;s episode of his program, Carlson came to Musk&#8217;s defense with a monologue that embraced the fake news&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The New York Times &#8220;came out with a piece that says &#8211; and we&#8217;re quoting  &#8211; <em>&#8216;Elon Musk, in a tweet, shares a link from a site known to publish fake news.&#8217;<\/em> Really? What did Elon Musk do? Well, he linked to an article about how Paul Pelosi called the guy in his home a friend. Well, that&#8217;s what the 911 tape says. You can draw your own conclusions or not. Or maybe you don&#8217;t care, which is also fine. How is that fake? Seems to be real.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker Carlson is still winking and nodding at the debunked, homophobic conspiracy theory about the Pelosi attack spread by Elon Musk in his since deleted tweet <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Te8kPdcVdF\">pic.twitter.com\/Te8kPdcVdF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1587237848805253120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Carlson deliberately mischaracterizes the incident saying that <em>&#8220;Pelosi called the guy in his home a friend&#8221;<\/em>? So, first of all, Carlson is describing the assailant, not as the attacker who broke into Pelosi&#8217;s home, but as a guy who just happened to be there. Also, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/article\/2022\/oct\/31\/misinformation-fuels-false-narratives-about-attack\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carlson is lying<\/a><\/strong> about what the 911 tape says. It was the 911 dispatcher who made the <em>&#8220;friend&#8221;<\/em> reference, not Pelosi. What&#8217;s more, the police reported that Pelosi was speaking in code because he didn&#8217;t want the assailant to catch on that he was talking to the police.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, to answer Carlson&#8217;s question about what Elon Musk did, here is the truth. Musk posted a tweet replying to one by Hillary Clinton, wherein she noted correctly that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s reply included the link to the obviously phony <em>\u201cSanta Monica Observer,\u201d<\/em> that is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/opinion\/story\/2021-08-09\/local-fake-news-hyperpartisan\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">known for publishing<\/a><\/strong> crackpot conspiracy theories such as that Hillary Clinton had died and been replaced by a body double for a debate with Trump, and that Trump had appointed Kanye West to a high position at the Interior Department. And yet, the new owner of Twitter bought into the the whole sham.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Good God almighty. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z6zJ0jwsaO\">pic.twitter.com\/Z6zJ0jwsaO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jeff (Gutenberg Parenthesis) Jarvis (@jeffjarvis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffjarvis\/status\/1586695651328409600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Notice that Musk added his own agreement with the bogus article saying that <em>&#8220;there might be more to this story than meets the eye.&#8221;<\/em> He also later mocked the criticism he received for spreading such loathsome lies in another tweet that took a sideways swipe at the New York Times for reporting about him accurately.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just in case you thought there might be a scintilla of remorse coming for sharing disinformation to 110 million people about an assassination attempt targeting the Speaker of the House. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5e7MOrHmLw\">pic.twitter.com\/5e7MOrHmLw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonFilipkowski\/status\/1586874010276691968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 31, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Musk dismisses the obscene dishonesty and callousness of his original remark. And his pal Tucker Carlson rushes to rationalize, and even agree with, Musk&#8217;s horrendous conspiracy mongering. But then, that&#8217;s to be expected from Carlson and Fox News, where lies and conspiracies comprise the bulk of what they broadcast. It has been their mission from day one.
