Tucker Carlson Is Back on Twitter, Says It's a 'Pivot Point in Our History'
Newsweek ^ | 4/25/22 AT 10:47 PM | AILA SLISCO

Posted on 04/26/2022 5:09:18 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has resumed tweeting only hours after tech billionaire Elon Musk's Twitter takeover became official.

The @TuckerCarlson account tweeted, "We're back," shortly after it was announced on Monday that Musk had completed his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform. Carlson had not tweeted since his account was temporarily suspended last month for violating platform rules by insisting that tweets referring to Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine—who is a transgender woman—as a "man" were "true."

Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson We’re back.

During the Monday night edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host celebrated the takeover and speculated that it could be a "pivot point" in history due to Musk believing in "free speech," a stance that he said was "unlike" views held by those in charge of Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon.

"The reason that today's sale of Twitter is big news—the reason it could turn out to be a pivot point in our history—is that Elon Musk does not agree with the rest of the billionaires in the tech business," Carlson said. "He thinks everyone should be allowed to talk. Including people who disagree with him."

Carlson then quoted and praised a Musk tweet that expressed "hope" that his "worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means."

If we are lucky, the far left Dem crazies will swiftly leave Twitter and head straight to hell to keep the devil company.

Still not sure this is going to be what it seems to be. Will the laptop and election fraud now be posted all over. And at this point will it make a difference. If not reported on morning or evening news then people won’t believe it.

I don’t watch cnn but does anyone know if they are freaking out..

Richard Levine a.k.a. "Rachel" is a mentally disturbed man who thinks he is a woman. He is not a woman. He fathered two children with his wife Martha. Then he started dressing up in women's clothes.

And Levine is about as much an "admiral" as Cap'n Crunch.

Tucker was banned for telling the truth.

I love Tucker’s show and he’s very important as a voice of pushback but you are so right. It makes him seem a bit nuts. I don’t know why he does it.

Years ago I said the right couldn’t lose because, though the left owns the MSM, the right owns the internet, because we argue from facts, which is all that wins when speech is free and debate is welcome. But then came cancel culture.

But, we’re back! 😁

Yes.

If not reported on morning or evening news then people won't believe it.

You vastly overestimate the power of morning/evening news.
Very, very few people believe them.

Yes. From day one.

Why did Twitter’s board unanimously vote in favor of the sale. I am suspicious

His idiotic impromptu laughs take away fro the serious tone of the point or issue he’s talking about. It really grates me because his subject matters are excellent.

They banned The Babylon Bee for the same reason.
You can bet they will be back too.
Elon did great interview with the bee over Christmas.

I am not the least bothered by his laughing at the deranged far left Dems and the stupid things they say.
It helps to put them in ridicule.

Tucker might be good, but I can’t watch because of that insane laugh. It is a total turnoff.

Because Dorsey, who owns more shares than the rest of the board combined, is an old friend of Musk and supported the takeover.

Lol. That’s great about cnn. They will have to spin it somehow. I guess musk will now be a white supremacist. And everyone should leave Twitter and just use facebook. And the owner of Facebook maybe in trouble soon for the drop boxes. I heard zucker is staying out of the midterms.
