hclasvegas: some of the Maddow videos are classic.

Um, are you an idiot?

Your article clearly states that the tweet was a fake, a forgery:

There is no evidence that Maddow ever posted this statement.

It does not appear on archived versions of Maddow's X profile from Feb. 15, 2024, the day the post was allegedly published. There is no discussion on X that records people interacting with or discussing the purported statement either.

Finally, the screenshot used in Reddit is attributed to "media.conspiracies.win," suggesting the image was originally found on a Reddit clone that is dedicated to conspiracies and has limited content moderation.
