Washington Hilton Hotel<\/a> during the White House Correspondents Dinner, adversarial voices began seeding anti-American narratives across messaging channels crisscrossing the globe.\u00a0<\/p>\nAt 9:10 p.m., members of an anti-American Telegram channel called \u201cResistanceTrench\u201d quickly started swapping their spin on the narrative, one user posting support for the shooting, saying, \u201cLet\u2019s goo [sic] civil war time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next minute, another user responded: \u201cMaybe first shots of the revolution?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first user quickly escalated: \u201cI think where [sic] witnessing beginning of the American civil war to be frankly honest. They might blame it on iran [sic] but it\u2019s obvious all the shooting and attack in america is leading towards civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rapid cascade of posts \u2014 blending speculation, mockery and preemptive geopolitical framing \u2014 illustrates how moments of domestic crisis are quickly weaponized in the modern information environment, where loosely networked actors and ideological adversaries race to define the narrative before facts are established, often amplifying themes of instability, distrust and the inevitability of conflict and \u201ccivil war\u201d in the United States.<\/p>\n
Others on the Telegram channel mocked the unfolding situation in real time. \u201cAre they dead ass carrying him?\u201d one user asked of the Secret Service scurrying President Donald Trump out of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another dismissed the incident as staged: \u201cLet\u2019s see who they blame this on this fake soap opera.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The speculation quickly turned geopolitical to anti-Israel rhetoric with a user declaring: \u201cWithin hours, expect Zionist accusations that Iran is behind the shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some posts veered callously into ridicule and derision. One user claimed, \u201cErica Kirk was crying leaving the scene,\u201d with a laughing emoji, while another jeered at those evacuating: \u201cBunch of f***ing cowards,\u201d using the full expletive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By 9:34 p.m., still another mocked the situation, joking, \u201cThe shooters [sic] shirt will have the words \u2018Strait outta hormuz\u2019 written on them,\u201d a twist on the popular rap T-shirt, \u201cStraight outta Compton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leftists in the U.S. quickly shared video footage from the chaos, including a livestream of self-declared Marxist influencer Hasan Piker, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, shouting, \u201cShots fired!\u2026What the f***!\u201d saying the full expletive.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"9 hours agoOnline posts crisscross the globe to shape anti-American propaganda after Washington Hilton shooting Within minutes of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,4,27304,829,2413,3,21,19,22,20,25,24,965],"class_list":{"0":"post-608094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-current-news","11":"tag-latest-news","12":"tag-national-news","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa","20":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
