Not everyone takes a joke well.

Unfortunately for him, on April 1, right-wing provocateur Jordan Peterson didn’t realize it was April Fool’s Day. He proceeded to put the ‘F’ in “fool” when he erupted at a Western Standard online news tweet.

The psychologist went off on the news company as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter.

Sharing the Western Standard tweet, Peterson posted:

"This idiot country is sheathed in ice seven months of the year and the trans Canada highway (an underdeveloped national disgrace) is 5000 miles long."
"Is there nothing so stupid you won't do it @JustinTrudeau?"

He clearly didn’t read the article.

It explicitly states it was an April Fool’s joke at the end of the article.

Western Standard

Peterson saw Trudeau was supposedly making plans to convert one lane of the TransCanada highway to a bike lane. To the tune of $100 billion (CA).

But instead of reading the article to the end and enjoying being in on the joke with the rest of Twitter, Peterson immediately chose to rant about Trudeau’s stupidity.

Twitter immediately pointed out the date to the scholar.















Maybe next time Dr. Peterson will complete his research before jumping to conclusions

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
