It seems unlikely that the type of person who engages in these kinds of conspiracy theories would then issue an apology. See the thread on Paul Pelosi's gay lover on these boards. Or the discussion by some of our posters in the aftermath of the assassination of Melissa Hoffman by Vance Boelter. Or the amplification of claims that the killer at Brown yelled Allah Akhbar. You won't find any retractions let alone expressions of regret.
Sadly none of this is new. There is a thread about the Las Vegas shooter for example with similar behavior.
I love all these even dumber grifters that are going around sharing this one. Barack Obama follows me on Twitter and I never even followed him. That account was basically like the Tom on MySpace of Twitter around ‘08.
The right-wing grifter space is so over-saturated that there’s tiers of dumb.

On Thursday, as the conference kicked off, Shapiro decided to address the elephant in the room.
“If Candace Owens decides to spend every day since the murder of Charlie Kirk casting aspersions at TPUSA and the people who work here, who worked with Charlie every single day, his best friends … and, yes, at Erica Kirk and to imply or outright claim complicity in a cover-up over Charlie’s murder, to spew absolutely baseless trash implicating everyone from French intelligence to Mossad to members of TPUSA in Charlie’s murder or a cover-up in that murder, then we as people with a microphone have a moral obligation to call that out by name.”
But later in the program, Carlson contended that Shapiro’s call to disavow Owens represented “deplatforming,” an effort to shut down someone’s ability to reach an audience.
“To hear calls for, like, deplatforming and denouncing people at a Charlie Kirk event, I’m like, ‘What? This is hilarious,’” Carlson laughed. He called Shapiro’s remarks “the whole, like, Red Guard, Cultural Revolution thing that we so hated and feared on the left.” (This seems a wee bit hyperbolic, as China’s Cultural Revolution killed up to 2 million people between 1966 and 1976, with massacres and literal cannibalism.)
For his part, Bannon bellowed, “Ben Shapiro is like a cancer and that cancer spreads.”
It’s an extremely convenient two-step from the pro-Owens wing of MAGA: Criticizing Owens for her unsupported accusations is censorious “deplatforming,” but calling Shapiro “a cancer” is just routine give-and-take.
The conference climaxed with an address by Vice President JD Vance, heir apparent to President Donald Trump. Vance audaciously claimed, “President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless self-defeating purity tests.”
What? Trump doesn’t run his supporters through purity tests?
Ask Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thom Tillis, Liz Cheney, Brian Kemp, Jeff Flake, Paul D. Ryan, Ben Sasse, Justin Amash, Peter Meijer, Don Bacon, Denver Riggleman, Jaime Herrera Beutler … The entire Trump era is littered with Republican elected officials who disagreed with Trump and found themselves driven out of office. Ask former Cabinet officials like John Bolton, Elaine Chao, H.R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, John Kelly or Nikki Haley. Heck, ask his former vice president, Mike Pence! A pro-Trump crowd was ready to hang Pence over his willingness to certify the results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021. That doesn’t count as a “purity test”?

An interesting place to draw the line. I would draw it at those who demonize dark-skinned immigrants by propagating lies that they are eating our pets.
