Former Trump official and new congressman would drink, take Ambien and make sexual advances on the job: report
While working at the Pentagon, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson would drink while working, take Ambien and make sexual advances to staffers, the inspector general reported Tuesday, according to CNN.
Jackson, who has since been elected as a Republican Congressman for Texas, came under scrutiny after he was characterized as the "candy man" for "doling out pills" to White House staff, Vanity Fair reported in 2019.
Jimmy Kimmel offers Tucker Carlson his sperm after Fox News host freaks out over low count in US men
Fox News host Tucker Carlson had a freakout over a recent report that American males have lower sperm counts than they once did. ABC host Jimmy Kimmel is offering to help by offering the right-wing personality his own sperm.
"While many of us are still worried about COVID and climate change, Tucker Carlson is worrying on another level," Kimmel began. "Tucker right now is worried about our testicles."
Where the GOP lie that Antifa was responsible for the Capitol attack first came from: fact-checker
While Fox News spent the day blaming Democrats for canceling Dr. Seuss because his publisher will no longer continue to publish some of his books that show racist imagery. They missed FBI Director Christopher Wray saying that Antifa had no part in the attack on the Capitol and there was no evidence to suggest that they did.
In an extensive fact-check, CNN's Daniel Dale followed what is being called "the second big lie" by some hosts Tuesday. It all began with a report from the conservative outlet The Washington Times, which falsely claimed on Jan. 6 that Antifa was behind the attack. They later corrected the story, and then wrongly claimed that some facial recognition company identified two Antifa members in the attack, Dale explained.
