Tucker Calls Reporter Who Unmasked ‘Libs of TikTok’ Creator a German Stooge
https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-ca ... man-stooge
Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night wondered aloud why Taylor Lorenz, the author of a Washington Post story earlier in the day on the popular Twitter account “Libs of TikTok,” isn’t registered as a foreign agent.
In the piece, the reporter makes note of findings from software developer Travis Brown that helped her reveal the right-wing account’s creator, Brooklyn-based real-estate agent Chaya Raichik. Specifically, Brown uncovered deleted tweets from the account, including those in which Raichik claimed she attended the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Brown, Lorenz notes, receives support from the German-based Prototype Fund. The fund, according to its website, “supports ideas in civic tech, data literacy, data security and software infrastructure” with money from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
That funding, Carlson claimed, proves that “what happened to the woman who runs Libs of TikTok—her life being destroyed—was not the work of Taylor Lorenz... it was a foreign intelligence operation designed to silence and intimidate an American citizen.”

First off, though I understand the need for anonymity, , the thing is, Raichik was increasingly making nasty and unfounded allegations about people on TikTok being so-called predators and groomers while hiding behind hers. That to me isn't "doxxing". What Lorenz did is called reporting. And I guess in Tuckums-Land once getting a grant from a foreign foundation makes you a foreign agent?
Why am I not surprised the man from warped horseshoe-land, Glenn Greenwald, is in on this pile on? I thought a gay guy might get why it's not a good idea to accuse gays and others on TikTok of being pedos, and the source of such attacks should be revealed, but ...
And hey, so was Ernst Röhm. Only reason to keep making the comparison is because Milo actually called himself that.
No integrity, no ethics, totally amoral, but they know what side their bread is buttered on, so good for them, I guess.
If attacked on the basis of their sexuality, I could defend them, and I have in the past, though these cons would never defend me for any reason. But it's interesting that they generally don't get attacked from the right for that. Yet.
Give it time; they will. Like Ernst, they are the first to go under the regimes they're currently trying to put in office.
