There’s a “tremendous amount of disinformation” being shared online about the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, some of it coming from overseas, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said. “What we’re seeing is our adversaries want violence,” he said Thursday night at a media briefing attended by FBI Director Kash Patel, who didn’t speak.
“We have bots from Russia, China, all over the world that are trying to instill disinformation and encourage violence,” Cox said, as he urged the public to take a break from social media.

Yes WSJ, tell us more about this disinformation issue.
This is the same guy who was like “I wanted so hard to believe it wasn’t someone from here that did it” Seems like he really wants an outside threat to demonize, surely people won’t fall for that- oh right never mind lmao
He was one of the first ones to call it a political assassination, long before we knew anything about it…
He immediately jumped on the bandwagon that “the left” had done it, which was disinformation and legitimized the further bullshit he’s now unhappy with.
He shit his pants and now wants everyone to look around for the source of the smell.
“We got ‘em,” says man who helped create monster.
We’re all looking for the guy who did this…
Yep. He was fuel to the fire. The social media sphere was on fire repeating his and words like his.
“What we’re seeing is our adversaries want violence,” [Utah’s Governor] said
So what you are saying is that right wing christians are our adversaries?
This is REALLY funny coming from the Wall Street Journal, who was quick to publish that there were “transgender” messages on the bullets.
I really think the writer and whoever approved that article should be sacked for trusting internet bullshit. If they can’t figure out what’s real or not, they’re cooked when it comes to AI
Ironic, truly.

overseasthe Wall Street Journala lot from the fbi director, too
Some of the misinformation came from the governor.
Same platform, even. Truly beyond belief how stupid public figures and media outlets are allowed to make themselves look with no consequences.
He was too busy weeping for it not being one of his perceived enemies, and instead a Utah native.
Thank you for an AP link.
Especially from the president
