Lefties Losing It: Pink throws ‘tantrum’ after being fact-checked

Popstar Pink has gone on a “little tantrum” and doubled down on a lie she spread through a tweet even after being fact checked, says Sky News host Rita Panahi.

The singer took to X to tweet about an alleged banning of various books in Florida.

“It was of course a lie, there was a lie that was circulated widely, thanks to that tweet from Pink,” Ms Panahi said.

“But that didn’t stop Community Notes from fact-checking her.

“But guess what happened? Instead of apologising, instead of just, I don’t know, deleting the false tweet, she doubled down with this little tantrum about the MAGA cult getting all mad."

Shouldn’t she be banned from social media for spreading misinformation or does that only apply to conservatives?

No one has ever accused Pink of being intelligent.

[brookeburkettofficial]

She made herself look so unintelligent.

[booksteer]

Pink's turnaround, blaming her critics for her mistake, is classic narcissism.

It’s so much more embarrassing if you pretend you weren’t wrong instead of apologizing.

Why are some people so afraid of calling terrorist groups “terrorists”?

[seeleygirl]

Pink is embarrassed so she did what narcissists do, Turn the tables and blame the other side. Never admit they made a mistake and double down on their mistake. Deflection is an art for them.

As an 8th grade teacher in Florida, I can vouch Pink is lying!!! My students are reading Diary of Anne Frank right now.

Pink should be ashamed of herself for misleading and flat out lying to her 30 million followers. She didn't do her research. Downright shameful!

[dingledong]

I've lost respect for Pink over this. Calling out "maga" when she's wrong. That is mega BS.

[damienalvarez]

I love when leftists get angry over being fact checked.

[vladimirputindreadlockrast]

Pink, you say the MAGA cult doesn't like being challenged after they challenged you with a fact check.

[hebber]

Instead of realizing she pushed a lie, she doubles down? She's clearly in a cult or one of the cult leaders.

Sky News Australia is a breath of fresh air compared to woke leftie UK Sky News. Love Rita and the team x

That 30 million get their information through Pink says volumes on the intelligence of many in our society.

[denisb]

I still don’t understand why anyone listens to anything a “celebrity” says. She is an entertainer. These entertainers were called jesters back in the day. I still see them as that.

Hey, Pink, Dude, stop BEFORE you are exposed!
