A recent post on MSNBC's official Twitter site promoting an opinion story about the connection between "physical fitness" and "the far right" has sparked social media backlash about the liberal media repeatedly attempting to make such a connection.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk and podcast host Joe Rogan mocked the tweeted story, which was published in March 2022.
"MSNBC thinks you’re a nazi if you work out lmaooo," Musk tweeted Monday, the day of the tweet.
Rogan retweeted the MSNBC post with the comment, "Being healthy is 'far right.' Holy f***."
MSNBC did not to respond to a request Thursday for comment about why it tweeted a story that is roughly 16 months old.
In the story, the female columnist attempts to connect physical wellness to Nazi ideology by stating that Adolf Hitler did martial arts and boxed.
"It appears the far right has taken advantage of pandemic at-home fitness trends to expand its decade-plus radicalization of physical mixed martial arts (MMA) and combat sports spaces," she writes in her opening paragraph going on to claim "fitness has always been central to the far right" and citing Adolf Hitler as an example. This is not the first time such a story or essay has appeared in the mainstream media in recent years.
