Sen. Kelly: Foreign Disinformation Operations to Influence U.S. Elections Have Focused Not Only on Arizona, But Other Battleground States
EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “Are you seeing targeted information operations really focusing in on Arizonans right now?”
KELLY: “Not only in Arizona and other battleground states. It's the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians. And it's significant. And we need to do a better job getting the message out to the American people that there is a huge amount of misinformation. If you're looking at stuff on Twitter, on TikTok, on Facebook, on Instagram, and it's political in nature, and you might think that person responding to that political article or who made that meme up is an American. It could be -- it could look like a U.S. service member. There is a very reasonable chance -- I would put it in the 20 to 30 percent range – that the content you are seeing, the comments you are seeing are coming from one of those three countries, Russia, Iran, China.”
