On Monday, former Republican and ex-congressman Joe Walsh fabricated a Tucker Carlson quote on Twitter. It immediately caught the attention of Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans who hope to see the Fox News host canceled.
Walsh attributed the following statement to Carlson: “What if these bodies of tortured, dead civilians were staged? What if they’re fake? What if the Ukrainian military killed them and then blamed Russia? I’m not saying any of this is true, I’m just asking the questions. Why can’t we ask these questions?”
The quote repeating Russia’s propaganda and denial of war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine, instantly went viral. On Reddit, a screenshot of Walsh’s post has nearly 60,000 upvotes with thousands of comments decrying what users believe are Carlson’s traitorous views. But Twitter is where the fake quote found currency among powerful and influential figures close to the Democratic Party.
I know he didn’t say it but he should have. Why is it that so many of out betters think skepticism is a crime? Funny how a bullshit war narrative can turn so many people into fools.
Newsweek published Andy? Is this a sign the legacy media are recognizing the public has been rejecting them en masse the last 5-6 years?
Newsweek was unreadable twelve years ago, as it was basically a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. It very nearly went out of business as a result, and was sold off for one (1) dollar.
Lately, however, it’s published some decent stuff.
Walsh says he wasn’t quoting Tucker, but rather speculating on what Tucker would say that evening. Of course. almost no one picked up on that. Nearly everyone who responded to the tweet thought it was an actual quote.
Joe Walsh is allegedly a journalist. He’s supposed to be an expert in communication. He is fully responsible if his tweets are “misinterpreted”.
A lie travels three times around the world before the truth puts its pants on …
Damage done. The retraction/clarification won’t be noticed
That’s why it’s good to know a Lawyer named Sue. Kinda sounds like a song lyric.
There’s evidence that at least some of the atrocities have been staged or possibly carried out by forces allied with Ukraine. As I tell people, I don’t know what goes on in my next door neighbor’s house let alone what goes on in a war 7,000 miles away. It’s not like people don’t lie to get their enemies in trouble.
ARty…
As with COVID, the propaganda is simply stifiling, that I simply do not buy a thing from ANY of the them – ever.
I see a USA that has been involved in Armed Conflict nearly EVER DAY since I was born…70 yrs now….why.?? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for what President Eisenhower Warned about way back in 1954 I believe it was.
“The MILITARY INDUSTRIAL Complex”…..aka – Todays DEEP STATE.
Look & see how many MILLIONAIRES there are in Congress and the Senate.??
Russia has always been the perfect Boogeyman for US interests, It should come as no surprise that since the Cold war ended, said interests have been very very busy in the Ukraine….doing the same shit they have done for decades…undermining – corrupting – scheming 24/7 since 1991….all for profit for a select few.
Biden & Son are only the most visible….but this shit goes back Decades involving numerous Presidents and their criminal cabals….along with partnering and the training thereof of NAZI ParaMilitary Groups…
Not the first time US interests have allied themselves with NAZI’s either – it’s what got them to the MOON ffs…
Ivan: your boss is the only who thinks Ukraine is run by Nazis. Satellite pictures of Bucha when Russians were still there show bodies in same places. Invading sovereign nations; mass graves; breaking law of land warfare by attacking civilians. There are Nazis in Ukraine. They are your army.
and yet still those t shirts were awfully white for someone who got shot by a high power assault rifle and fell to the ground. No dirt. No blood. Dead bodies didn’t look like that in Bosnia or Afghanistan….. must be a clean war.
Here’s an Idea! Why don’t the Ukrainians take all their evidence to a World Court and get a judgement? Until then? Shut up and stop spreading misinformation, err malinformation …
Speaking of Ukraine.
There are a great many liberal style hawks that want to switch on production of armoured vehicles to supply to Ukraine.
They see this as an advantage to the economy.
Someone should tell these armchair warriors and salon engineers that the time to produce one vehicle takes a minimum of about 9 months from when the steel is cut for the hull to when it’s fully kitted out ready to ship.
Thank you.
Please return to the original thread.
Many citizen videos & amateur, on the ground reporting suggests that the questions he is asking are very legitimate and should be examined and the truth revealed. Or better yet someone delve into the radical practices the extremist Ukrainian Azov Battalion have been involved in since 2014 when the war started.
The Azovs are fighting curiously enough by the Sea of Azov. Did they get through Russian lines to commit these atrocities and then back. Ivan: no one is persuaded.
What if we were fed 24/7 propaganda? OK then 23 out of 27 end up accepting such as fact.
Oh well….
There’s a reason they want Tucker canceled. Tucker Carlson is one of the few people on US airwaves who refuses to go along with official Russophobia. He is quoted at length on Russian news broadcasts regularly.
This, of course, makes him a Moskal-lover unfit for polite society.
If you want to know what is a lie or truth listen to the mainstream media and when they ALL parrot the same story ITS A LIE. Gauranted!!!
Or multiple news organizations in multiple countries miss the chance to score a major scoop by exposing a fraud. Ivan: you work for monsters.
“Why can’t we ask these questions?”
The Brave New World of “denial.”
