‘Industrial Karen’: Dana Loesch Torches Nine Inch Nails Frontman For ‘Planning To Quit’ Twitter

Nationally syndicated radio host Dana Loesch torched Nine Inch Nails rocker Trent Reznor over the announcement that he was “planning to quit Twitter” in the aftermath of changes new owner Elon Musk had made to the social media platform.

Reznor, who ultimately left the platform on Sunday, complained that the Musk takeover was an “embarrassment” and said that he had even been thinking of leaving before the billionaire entrepreneur got behind the wheel.

“I’m about to depart. We don’t need the arrogance of the billionaire class to feel like they can just come in and solve everything,” Reznor said, adding, “Even without him involved, I just find that it has become such a toxic environment. For my mental health, I need to tune out. I don’t feel good being there anymore”

Loesch responded to the news in a tweet, saying, “‘Planning to quit?’ FFS the attention-seeking drama.”

“He made some great music but he is just an industrial Karen. When he’s not bitching about women or God, it’s TEH MAN,” she continued.

Elon Musk mentioned the departure in a comment directed at popular Twitter account @Catturd2.

“Breaking … 48 hours since @elonmusk reinstated President Trump’s Twitter account and the world still hasn’t ended,” @Catturd2 tweeted on Monday.

And it turns out that Trent “nine inch nails” Reznor is actually a crybaby 🤣

“And it turns out that Trent ‘nine inch nails’ Reznor is actually a crybaby,” Musk responded.

White Stripes frontman Jack White also announced his departure from Twitter on Sunday, tying the move directly to the fact that Musk — after conducting a poll — reinstated the long-banned account belonging to former President Donald Trump.

White’s post read, in part, “So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon. That is officially an asshole move. Why dont you be truthful? Tell it like it is; people like you and Joe Rogan (who gives platforms to liars like Alex Jones etc); you come into a ton of money, see the tax bill, despise paying your fair share, and then think moving to Texas and supporting whatever Republican you can is going to help you keep more of your money. (How else could Trump possibly interest you?) You intend to give platforms to known liars and wash your hands
like Pontius Pilate and claim no responsibility?”

White went on to blame Trump for the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill — among other things — and continued, “That’s not ‘free speech’ or ‘what the poll decided’ or whatever nonsense you’re claiming it to be; this is straight up you trying to help a fascist have a platform so you can eventually get your tax breaks. I mean, how many more billions do you need that you have to risk democracy itself to obtain it?”

The rocker praised Musk’s work at Tesla, but then pivoted back to attack him again, arguing that giving Trump a platform was no different than him allowing the KKK to hold a rally on a stage he owned.

“You took on a big responsibility with your purchase, and ‘free speech’ isn’t some umbrella that protects you from that,” he said.

Driver Who Crashed Into 25 L.A. Sheriff Recruits Claims He Fell Asleep At Wheel

The 22-year-old driver who crashed into 25 Los Angeles County Sheriff’s recruits last week denied authorities’ claims that investigators had enough evidence to prove the incident was a deliberate act.

Nicholas Gutierrez was held on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer on a $2 million bond for driving his Honda CR-V into 25 cadets about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles on Nov. 16. around 6:30 a.m. during a training exercise with about 75 recruits from the Sheriff’s Department and several local police agencies.

The horrific crash left more than a dozen cadets injured and at least five in critical condition.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said they later provisionally released Gutierrez because the initial complaint was not enough to hold him in custody.

In an interview with NBC, Guiterrez refuted claims made by Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who said investigators had enough evidence to conclude that the crash was intentional.

“I didn’t intentionally do it,” Gutierrez said, adding that he fell asleep on his way to work.

Gutierrez said he fell asleep at the wheel and woke up to the sound of recruits banging on the windows.

“I wish it never happened,” he added. “I feel bad it happened.”

In the interview, Gutierrez had injuries to his face that were suffered at the scene, which he claimed were sustained when the sheriff’s “dragged” him out of the car when he woke up from the impact.

The sheriff’s department declined to comment or elaborate.

The recruits were part of a 22-week program with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s S.T.A.R.S. Explorer Training Academy in South Whittier, California. At the time of the crash, the cadets ran in four rows while drill instructors and two black-and-white radio cars accompanied them.

According to Villanueva, seven recruits remain in the hospital, with two in critical condition and multiple leg fractures. He said authorities’ biggest concern is one of the recruits is on life support and suffering from serious brain bleeding and swelling.

“They have a long road to recovery happen to them, and we’re just hoping and praying that they can pull through,” he told News Nation.

Villanueva said five recruits are still under observation, and the remaining 20 have been released to their families.

The suspect’s lawyer, Alexandra Kazarian, told The Los Angeles Times, Guiterrez fell asleep at the wheel while on his way to work, calling it a “tragic accident.”

Kazarian also denied the preliminary investigation from Villanueva, saying there is no evidence suggesting it was intentional.

“I have no idea why the sheriff said that,” Kazarian said.

Gutierrez’s attorney issued a statement Friday to NBC saying Gutierrez comes from a law enforcement family. According to the Los Angeles Times, his father is a retired corrections officer. His uncles work in the Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, and the Sheriff’s Department.

“Nicholas comes from a proud law enforcement family, and the injuries to these recruits is beyond heartbreaking,” attorney Alexandra Kazarian said. “The Gutierrez family appreciates the Sheriff’s Department taking the time to conduct a full and complete investigation. As many have asked, we want to emphasize that Nicholas was on his way to work and had no drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of this tragic accident.”

Kazarian said Gutierrez “harbors absolutely no animosity toward law enforcement,” adding claims that her client was a disgruntled academy recruit or had any association with being a recruit were incorrect.
