Some on the right are attempting to sweep days of spreading disinformation and lies under the rug; other conservatives are trying to ignore the debacle as if it didn’t happen; and unsurprisingly, many on the right continue to propagate lies about the ‘violent left.’
Even the prestigious
Wall Street Journal managed to contribute to the right’s campaign of disinformation and lies:
‘The Wall Street Journal has quietly walked back early reporting that suggested the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was linked to transgender people. Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox contradicted the paper’s reporting in a Friday morning press conference.
[…]
The misinformation had devastating effects. A transgender woman in Seattle was falsely accused of being the shooter after her photos were circulated online. “These people really do want to kill me because they think that I killed their idol, Charlie Kirk,” she told The
Advocate.’
The paper had falsely claimed that the alleged shooter engraved messages consistent with “transgender ideology” on bullets recovered by law enforcement officials.
