Summary
The FBI reported two instances of fake videos using its name and insignia to spread misinformation about the 2024 presidential election.
Likely created by a Russian disinformation group, these fabricated videos falsely claim that prison officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting in coordination with a political party.
Another fake video, designed to resemble CBS News, falsely advised remote voting due to a terror threat—a claim the FBI denied.
Researchers say this disinformation group has a history of impersonating news outlets and government entities to sow distrust in U.S. elections.
It’s so infuriating that we just sit here and get slapped around by Russia and just say “pile on more sanctions” as if that is stopping anything…
Yeah yeah whataboutism me on our influence elsewhere, I’d say we deserve the reaction others give to us as well, they would have that right.
