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.

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.
