If you haven’t heard yet, former President Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested this week and he’s called on his supporters to protest.
His statement and his actions are eerily similar to those prior to January 6th.
We’ve been monitoring chatter across a variety of right-wing platforms in the wake of this news and we’ve found two disturbing disinformation narratives emerging:
- First, many are spreading misinformation asserting that Trump has already been arrested and this is a “false flag” operation designed to draw out and arrest his supporters.
- Second, many are saying to “pull your money from banks” to create financial havoc and punish the “globalists” who are arresting Trump.
I don’t have to tell you how dangerous this is. We’re continuously monitoring dozens of right-wing hubs across the web. Places where conspiracy theories are born and where they gather momentum before hitting the mainstream.
With this urgent news, we need your support. Can we count on you to contribute today to help us continue to monitor and defend against dangerous disinformation and misinformation?
