ANOTHER ROLLING STONE HOAX: Mag falsely claims AmFest crowd chanted ‘f*ck her’ over Nikki Haley—they were chanting ‘Tucker’

"MAGA Convention to Nikki Haley," the headline reads, "F-ck Her!" Writer Tim Dickinson claimed that the crowd chanted "f*ck her" when Steve Bannon brought up Haley on Sunday night during his speech, but video shows that what the crowd really chanted en masse was "Tucker."

Tucker Carlson also spoke at the conference, and in recent weeks speculation has been mounting that the pundit and beloved commentator may be tapped by Donald Trump for the VP spot on his 2024 presidential ticket. TPUSA attendees, like most of America, if cable news ratings are to be believed, love Tucker.

Bannon led the crowd in blasting Nikki Haley, saying that "She's as ambitious as Lucifer! Were gonna have to stop that." The crowd broke out in a chant of "Tucker," which Bannon misunderstood too, at first, as the profane version. Video shows, however, that "Tucker" was the call from the crowd.

"This is a lie by the smear merchants at Rolling Stone," TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said. "The crowd chanted TUCKER not “F-HER” regarding Trump's possible VP. We demand an immediate correction or we will sue @RollingStone. The video directly contradicts this headline. They knowingly lied."

“Rolling Stone is so desperate to smear conservatives, and their 'journalism so lazy and sloppy, that apparently they don’t even bother to watch the actual video," Turning Point spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said in a comment. "Pretty pathetic. I’m not so much upset as I am unimpressed. It’s actually really bad for the country that the so-called prestige media brands have fallen so far. Sad!"

Rolling Stone didn't seem particularly concerned with the truth, however, but with the spin to place Haley as a primary contender to Trump. Trump leads the GOP field by some 50 points in many polls and is a steady rival to Biden in general election polls.

Haley is a favorite of war hawks who see her willingness to go to war with Iran as a strength instead of a weakness that would draw the US into war with a powerful enemy. Rolling Stone has made it something of a mission to go after TPUSA, a group that offers an alternative to the cultural offerings of leftist media.

Rolling Stone has also been guilty of hoaxes in the past in their reporting, such as when, in 2016, the magazine had to defend itself after running a sensational article about a brutal rape on the campus of UVA that never happened. That story was retracted.

During the Covid scare of 2020, Rolling Stone also claimed that "Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances." This was also entirely false and the doctor sourced in the reporting didn't even work at the hospital cited.
