Tucker is Putin's press secretary. He talks whataboutism active measures reflexively.
Democrats want you to hate Putin because he is not our friend. Russian cyber attacks are not good for America. Russia destabilizing countries is not good for humanity.
This tweet is so full of white supremacy.
How is learning about black history teaching discrimination? If you are a white racist, learning black history teaches you about yourself. If finding out about your own racism makes you feel less than, that's on you. It's called shame.

Excerpt from this story from USA Today:
A viral image of a 1912 newspaper clip circulating on social media claims scientists have known for more than a century that coal consumption can have a negative effect on climate.
The image of the newspaper article, shared to Facebook on Aug. 12 by the page Historic Photographs, is titled, “Coal Consumption Affecting Climate,” and it says the coal burned in furnaces around the world is causing an effect that “may be considerable in a few centuries.” It’s dated Aug. 14, 1912.
The same photo was shared to Twitter on Aug. 12 in a tweet with more than 16,000 likes, with the caption, “Climate change prediction from 1912.” In the replies, some were skeptical about the authenticity of the article.
But the article in question is authentic, originally published more than 100 years ago.
The text in the article originates from a March 1912 report in the magazine Popular Mechanics titled, “Remarkable Weather of 1911: The Effect of the Combustion of Coal on the Climate – What Scientists Predict for the Future.”
The same phrasing was published on Aug. 14, 1912, in the New Zealand newspaper Rodney and Otamatea Times, Waitemata and Kaipara Gazette, which is the publication shown in the viral image. Prior to that, it appeared in The Braidwood Dispatch and Mining Journal, an Australian newspaper, on July 17, 1912.
“The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year,” the article reads. “When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.“
