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.

I dont understand why Trumpocrats have so much sand in their vagina over people telling the military to not follow illegal orders. They fantasize about all these wild charges when it could never advance legally because its in the military's own rules. If it even got to a Judge it would be dismissed because there is no allegation of wrongdoing.

Hate Russia? We hate Putin because he is a dictator who wants to reunite the USSR. Putin was supposed to be a transitional President. He bombed his own people and blamed it on Checnyan rebels to consolidate power.

Trump regime wants to sue musician for refusing to perform at Kennedy Center now that Trumps name has been added. Yet another guaranteed loser lawsuit just meant to grab headlines. You cant sue someone for believing you are morally reprehensible and you cant change the termsof the contract without the consent of the other party. The contract is for the Kennedy center not the Trump outhouse.

Those people were/are the ones who believed Trump was compromised by Russia. They were laying the groundwork for a "so what if he is compromised by Putin" defense because they fight their legal battles in the court of public opinion rather than a court of law. Someday historians will study people like thethe. He internalized all this Russia stuff and you can pinpoint exactly when he becomes pro-Putin. He cany deny it all he wants but I know it and he knows it.
I saw a government official say something to the effect of it being their duty as a public artist to perform for anybody and almost choked laughing at the current state of conservative free speech absolutism.
