As RedState previously reported, a handful of media outlets including PBS and CNN absolutely beclowned themselves Monday in falsely reporting that Twitter/X owner Elon Musk had used a "fascist salute" while addressing a pro-Trump crowd during an Inauguration Day rally.
"Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena," the PBS tweet alleged.
In reality, as documented by my colleague Nick Arama, Musk "was so enthusiastic he pounded his chest over his heart and then shot his hand out as to throw his heart to the audience."
With his hand placed on his heart, he stated, "My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured."
Though even the ADL of all places has pushed back on the predictable media-driven hoax, opportunistic Democrat politicians are taking the ball and running with it, using the DOGE leader's innocent gesture to denote something sinister.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who is Jewish, is among the ones engaging in the smear campaign, tweeting the following statement in response to the PBS story:
----- SNIP -----
The only thing Nadler's remarks succeeded in doing was uniting many Jewish people (and their supporters) on the social media platform against his shameless gaslighting.
"You literally fell asleep when I testified before the House Judiciary Committee, describing how my classmates were chanting in support of Hamas and for the death of Jews," political commentator Eyal Yakoby wrote. "Spare us with your fake condemnation."
Ex-IDF soldier Raylan Givens told Nadler that "You are a disgrace; you voted against the antisemitism bill and let the Jew haters in your party go wild. We don't buy your BS anymore."

Who?
“ Ex-IDF soldier Raylan Givens …”. I wondered where he went when he left the US Marshals Service.
Nadler "weighs in" no matter what. I think he changed his last name from Hutt when he first ran for office. I think the headline writer knew that, too.

Maybe Nadler had too much on his plate.
(I know he’s less heavy due to his surgeries in the past.)
Once in a while there is a news story of someone enormously obese who eats their way into weight gain in their trailer or house and then has to have the fire fighters use chain saws and wrecking bars to allow the person to get out.
Happened once to a man at a fast food booth who got stuck after “a large meal.” The first responders sawed the booth to allow Jaws of Life to get him out. He sued the restaurant
for the embarrassment.

Can someone direct me to the articles where the media expressed outrage over this? Can’t find any… pic.twitter.com/ivBzKGHhQr— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 21, 2025
Its a little quaint that PBS and Nadler think that this BS still works.
My Congressman is MTG. She is going to delight in stripping PBS of any Govt funding they maybe getting after this
Uh-OH!
Looks like Jerry did a poopy!
I also love Nancy’s reaction to when she sees him leave.
Dude next to Jerry has a facemask on..so he probably didn’t geta whiff right off the bat.
There...fixed.
😆
As someone who has had “urgent bathroom needs” at times, I feel sorry for Nadler in that incident. But his politics are awful.
A certain Austrian corporal is also known to have sometimes drunk tea.
Need I say more?
(For the incurably dense: Yes, this is sarcasm!)

Ex-IDF soldier Raylan Givens told Nadler that “You are a disgrace; you voted against the antisemitism bill and let the Jew haters in your party go wild. We don’t buy your BS anymore.”
So, before he was a US Marshall in Miami (then Kentucky), Raylan Givens was in the IDF?
