Yehuda Teitelbaum @chalavyishmael . @RepThomasMassie went on Tucker Carlson yesterday and told his audience that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up its official X account in Israel using an Israeli IP address and an app purchased from the Israeli App Store, and that Congress needs to open an investigation into it.
There's just one problem. The claim is based on a screenshot that was fabricated.
The image went viral in November showing the @DHSgov page listed as based in Tel Aviv, created July 2008, connected via the Israel App Store, and it got 39 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes before anyone looked closely at it.
The screenshot didn't have the gray checkmark that X puts on every single verified government account without exception, and the person who originally posted it later appeared to admit they made the whole thing up.
X's own head of product @nikitabier came out and called it fake news directly, confirming that @DHSgov was deliberately excluded from the location feature for security reasons and never showed any location data at all.
A sitting U.S. congressman is calling for a federal investigation based on a screenshot that the person who made it appears to have admitted was fake, and Tucker just let him say it to millions of people.
Get this liar out of Congress!

Typical. Ever since ousted from Fox, Fkr-Tkr has been one big lie.
Massie runs his Scam.
What Conservative votes to defend Schiff, Tlaib, and Swalwell
I wonder if Tucker moved away from Trump like Elon did: because the hate against Trump is so intense it can get you murdered for supporting him. Like Charlie Kirk. The looters really hate it when you get in-between them and the loot.
I think Musk didnt move away from Trump. He just created that impression to protect his business.
He was seen at a white tie gala not that long ago afterwards.
Thomas MESSY indeed
I don’t think so, I think it’s hard to believe but age-old hatred of Jews is the common theme among some on the right and left.
Massie and Tucker falling for this fake DHS claim is an example, they both are inclined to blame Jews for everything, without investigating a single thing about the post they are programmed to believe regardless of its authenticity.
Exactly. The Left is ruthless and relentlessly evil. We are fortunate to have a leader like Trump stand in its way . It would have broken most men . Tucker is an example of that.

No denying the Jew hate out there. Is Tucker just another hater or just taking advantage of that constant drumbeat of hate to save himself from getting assassinated.

Watch Tucker Carlson go from WARNING about the dangers of Muslims having nuclear weapons in Russia in 2022 > to PROMOTING the Islamic Republic of Iran having nuclear weapons in 2026.
Quite the transformation.

Tucker = Hatred + greed
Massie needs to be careful where he spews his lies. He is only protected by the Constitution from prosecution for defamation while he is in the Capitol building or traveling to or from there and his home. . I hope Trump sues him.
Massie and Tucker just busy serving their paymasters in Qatar
Which level?

How dare you question his motives.
Swift told us, "Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…"
The political Left and political Islam have played this gambit often, such that skepticism in much is warranted. One should double check much, and, as President Reagan famously advised, "Trust but verify." While it has earlier origins, the advice remains sound.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Two grandstanding clowns.
