MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan referred to as out Fox Information host Tucker Carlson and others in right-wing media for spreading wild conspiracy theories about final 12 months’s brutal assault on Paul Pelosi.
“They spent a lot time spreading homophobic conspiracy theories insinuating that there was some hidden secret story behind that assault,” he advised fellow MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin on Sunday. “They usually have been obsessive about desirous to see the physique cam footage.”
Now launched, that footage reveals the assault on Pelosi by a hammer-wielding residence invader in search of his spouse, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was speaker of the Home on the time.
The 82-year-old was hospitalized for almost every week after struggling a fractured cranium. Police say the alleged attacker, 42-year-old David DePape, wished to kidnap the then-speaker, who was not at residence.
Hasan performed a supercut of Carlson demanding the physique cam footage.
“We’re not the loopy individuals, you’re the liars,” Carlson ranted final 12 months over the shortage of footage.
Hasan questioned if Carlson will apologize now that the footage has been launched and doesn’t assist any of the conspiracy theories.
“No, in fact not,” he stated, answering his personal query. “You merely can not interact in good religion with these individuals.”
Mohyeldin agreed, saying the footage was finally launched to appease the “far-right loons” and debunk the conspiracies... to no avail, since they’re already spinning new ones.
“That’s the sweetness, Ayman, of being a far-right loon, of being a conspiracy theorist,” Hasan concluded. “You don’t have to fret about proof. Any proof on the contrary simply turns into a part of the conspiracy.”
