Support for Italy's Giorgia Meloni leads Nebraska punter to delete tweet, offer apology
Fox News ^ | September 28, 2022 | Ryan Gaydos

Posted on 09/29/2022 7:00:57 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

A Nebraska punter was forced to issue an apology on Tuesday after expressing favorable support for newly elected Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Brian Buschini, a sophomore from Montana, tweeted something about Meloni without "knowing the background" of the politician. He said a headline he read made it seem she was in support of family values.

"I want to take the time to apologize for a tweet I posted yesterday," his statement read. "I saw a headline from a speech the new Prime Minister of Italy made that seemed to support Christianity and family values. I unfortunately tweeted about this without knowing the background or history of this politician or the movement she is involved with. In no way do I support facism (sic) or racism in any form. I apologize for posting without understanding the reality of what I was posting about."

Sadly, he proved his worth and it wasn’t much.

I'm not really blaming him - he's a young guy, probably raised well enough, who never really thought clearly about what he believes, why it is important, and why to defend it. Most people go through life getting pushed around by media propaganda, government coercion, and leftist social-engineering bullies. Especially, in universities, which are conformist puppy-mills for young and impressionable people.

I know because I had to go through this process myself.

The left created a false picture of Meloni, spread it around, and wound up believing it.
As always, the left controls the narrative. Their very first words about Meloni were “fascist” and “far-right.”
They did the same thing with Trump, creating a fake image of racism, which they all slavishly believed.

The popular video of Meloni speaking proved them wrong, and so the bastards took it off Youtube. After the outcry, the bastards have restored it.

I’d have told them to go piss up a rope. Dad didn’t raise his son to grovel before Communist vermin.

What makes him think she isn't? Probably his fascist college friends.

What a moron. By simply using the word 'fascist' indicates that his oh-so-smart college friends or professors took him to task over his tweet.

What worries me is that we can no longer express an opinion, pro, con or uncommitted. The assault on basic thought is unbelievable in a free world, which raises the bigger question, are we no longer a free country?
