Aziz Ansari Roasted Rupert Murdoch For Backpedalling On His Awful Islam Tweet

Quick refresher: Rupert Murdoch and Twitter just flat out aren’t a very good mix.

We’ve already gone over – at some length – about the time he tried to claim that the Daily Telegraph was the only publication that caught the “bloody conclusion” to the siege at Martin Place, ending the message with an extremely ill-timed “congrats.”

Then a few days ago there was this absolute pearler.

Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.

If you’ve managed to remove your face from your own hand, it probably won’t be a stretch for you to fathom the correlation between someone using an outdated and hateful epithet and someone being a bit of a dickhead.

Curiously though, Rupe picked himself up a rather out-of-the-blue foe in diminutive Parks & Rec funnyman Aziz Ansari.

Aziz went to fucking town on the above tweet, lighting up the media mogul in a series of tweets that went a little something like this.

.@rupertmurdoch Rups can we get a step by step guide? How can my 60 year old parents in NC help destroy terrorist groups? Plz advise.

.@rupertmudoch Are you responsible for the evil shit all Christians do or just the insane amount of evil you yourself contribute to?

— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015

.@rupertmurdoch You are Catholic, why are you not hunting pedophiles? #RupertsFault

— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015

.@rupertmurdoch is responsible for all pedophilia committed by anyone Catholic. @rupertmurdoch why are you pro-pedophile 🙁

.@rupertmurdoch is Christian just like Mark David Chapman who shot John Lennon. Why didn’t Rupert stop it? #RupertsFault

To be clear, I am not religious and have nothing against Christians or Muslims, just ignorance like what @rupertmurdoch is spreading.

— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015

And as it turns out, even the most powerful media mogul in the world has a media manager looking over their shoulder at the shit they say.

Cut to earlier today, where we got this absolutely classic nugget of backpedalling.

Certainly did not mean all Muslims responsible for Paris attack. But Muslim community must debate and confront extremism.

If the sheer joy that the image of some stony faced mid-20s type with an iPhone grafted to their hands getting in RUPERT MURDOCH’s face and telling him to stop being a dick on the internet isn’t quite enough to bring you to sadistic completion, Aziz Ansari’s response to it will.

@rupertmurdoch Hahahah you got forced to do a fake apology tweet!!! AHAHAHAHA YOU LOSER

— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 14, 2015

I know we bandy about the term “perfect” quite a bit. But seriously, that was fucking perfect.
