they believe nicki minaj.sive threat to the industrial lying machine that controls our national conversation. african-americans already have the lowest vaccination rate of any demographic group in the country be they never tell you that but it is true, you can look it up. 40% of black americans have been fully vaccinated. but now, they have someone speaking for them, and it's nicki minaj. by the way, she is an actual working-class woman of color. she really did grow up in queens, unlike sandy cortez. she did not major in international relations at bu. she didn't even go to college. at 19 she was working at red lobster. so the question is, as one working-class woman of color to another, is sandy cortez supporting nicki minaj? of course she isn't! she's not on the side of people who work at red lobster and actually grew up in queens. [laughs] and she doesn't care if nicki minaj's cousin's friend's testicles are enlarged and his fiancee left. she has more important people to impress and last night, she did. you k

tucker talked about that tweet last night, and today nicki minaj retweeted this clip. >> it is nicki friends testicles that are enlarged. it is the last part of nicki minaj's tweet that enrages them, the part where she says you should pray on it, make the decision yourself, like a free human being, and "don't be bullied." so, our media and public health officials didn't like this because they make their livings bullying people, so they couldn't let it stand. >> of course, the haters came out of the woodwork from attacking minaj, tucker, and the show. minaj was also criticized by msnbc's joy reid. >> you have 22 million followers on twitter, but you didn't your platform to encourage our community to protect themselves or save their life, my god, sister, you can do better than that. >> minaj responded saying "thisy is what happens when you are so thirsty to down another black woman by the request of thel, white man that you didn't bother to read all of my tweets." minaj went on to say she never told anyone not to get the shot, just to learn more about it, and she's right. she told her f

sir, are you calling nicki minaj a liar? because to do that takes some really big-- wait a second! s sitting behind that giant table! last night, minaj was also a subject of discussion for tucker carlson, seen here discussing the size of his own balls. ( laughter ) ( applause ) if yi( applause ) tucker-- tucker was one of the first to jump on this story monday night, but he had gotten a crucial detail wrong, which led him to issue this rare correction: >> last night, we read it, we put the graphic on the screen, and we suggested that nicki minaj's cousin is the one with the swollen testicles in trinidad. and we were wrong, and we want to admit it. we henceforth correct the record. nicki minaj's cousin's testicles are not swollen. as far as we know, he's fine. it is nicki minaj's cousin's friend's testicles who are swollen from taking the vax. >> stephen: i'm glad to see fox news is finally coming to terms with some of its dangerous misstatements. and this time-- this time-- ( applause ) >> jon: you have to tell the truth. mean what you say. >> stephen: this time, it's not trivial st

but nicki minaj insist that they wanted her to come in person.tions about the vaccine, you are literally a murderer and there is a war being waged against you. if you are a celebrity, they will engage with you and answer your questions. >> the mere fact that she makes a stupid statement about her cousin's male anatomy that did not vote so well -- he ended up impotent, essentially, from the covid vaccine. whether it's true or not and i'm going to go with false come of the fact that the president entertains us as a joke. hollywood thinks they control politics when a celebrity says something so stupid, for the president to humor her and invite her to join him on a phone call, it goes to show that they believe hollywood has some say in what the rest of the country thanks. i personally don't care about that, but apparently the white house does. >> apparently we are supposed to be angry at the unvaccinated. >> remember the social media star, i don't know his name, who invited to the white house appeared before afghanistan collapsed. and he was allowed

nicki minaj doesn't need joy reid, she doesn't need anybody. is a self-made super star who gained all 22 million of those followers for being unapologetic in herself. and don't get me wrong. joy reid loves that she has this platform. only when she is sharing opinions approved by the black thought leaders. the breakfast club has some thoughts. >> i respect joy reid she missed the real moment to teach yesterday, will nicky never said don't take the vaccine. >> you can't vaccination shame people either. have you got to allow people make it when they want to make their own decision. this is something that's new and we don't know about every other day something changes. something is different. we don't know about how this effects. where double marries, wear triple masks, wear triple masks, you can't go out. nobody knows. >> lawrence: you guys made good point. i'm with you all. you are missing the bigger picture. joy reid thits nici should only use her microphone to rap. sound like joy reid wants her to shut up and dribble. when you break from the op

. >> speaking of trusted messengers, pop star nicki minaj tweeted yesterday that she's not vaccinatede's doing her own research. and then she shared an anecdote i found rather unbelievable about alleged side effects that her cousin's friend supposedly experienced in trinidad. i wouldn't normally even ask you about this, but nicki minaj has nearly 180 million followers on twitter and instagram combined. she's beloved by her fans. she's a huge talent. her tweet was seized upon by vaccine opponents as some sort of evidence. i want you to address what she said because for anyone out there who has any questions about this, dr. fauci, is there any evidence that the pfizer or the moderna or the j&j vaccines cause any reproductive issues in men or women? >> the answer to that, jake, is a resounding no. there's no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic region to imagine that it would happen. so the answer to your question is no. >> how can health authorities even attempt to combat this kind of misinformation coming from somebody who is a huge and beloved international star like

almost as sad as shape as nicki minaj's cousin's friends' ball sack. crime and homelessness, those aren't what discuss because it's too hard. they are topics that end up having you sound like your parents all full of common sense and -- the climate is easy. you don't need any of that. it's just a hyped issue that demands a change and compliance and attention from the peasants. yet the so-called results are so long-term that ensures none of these people pushing it will have to be held accountable for the hypocrisies and lies. and when you are that wealthy, you can create a light -- you put on truck drivers and plumbers who can. so there lockstep is more synchronized than a parade of north korean soldiers. all but one voice, one entity, either the fearful signal signaler's knowing that if they don't play along, their days are numbered. so they back the hysteria to protect the paycheck. and when so-called comedians have gone full credit it's no wonder 56% of young people think humanity is doomed. i wonder what our very own night-light angry black male thi

nicki minaj gave some interesting medical advice on twitter. because his friend got it and became impotent. his speech at jericho testicles became. now the girl called off the wedding. prey on it and make sure you're comfortable with his decision and not bullied." what the hell are they using in trinidad? if she thought her friends testicles were huge, her tweet blew up even bigger. >> like nicki minaj, i have to say, you have a platform that is 22 million followers. i have 2 million followers. you have 22 million followers on twitter. for your user platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives. my god, sister, you can do better than that. >> greg: she said that to brag about her twitter following. she also said she would get vaxxed to go on to her. she called joy a homophobe over her past blog post. read responded calling the whole thing a teachable moment which is what the left calls it when they embarrass themselves. everybody is wrong on this, tyrus, right? >> especially you. why the hell are we talking
