“I think that speaks for itself,” the governor said.

Cox reported that another casing had “Bella ciao” written on it, an apparent reference to a WWII-era Italian anti-fascist song. Another casing had the message, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” Cox said.

Additional, unfired bullets had phrases from video games and internet memes written on them. One read “Up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols,” a possible reference to commands entered on a controller that call in a bomb in the video game “Helldivers.” A separate casing read, “Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”

Russia, China 'Bots' Want Violence After Charlie Kirk Killing: Governor

"There is a tremendous amount of disinformation we are tracking," Cox said. "What we're seeing is our adversaries want violence."

"We have bots from Russia, China, all over the world, that are trying to instill misinformation and encourage violence. I would encourage you to ignore those, to turn off those streams," he said.

The problem isn't the bots, the idiocy of the dumbest Americans not having an ounce of descretion.

Once again,they're forced to confront reality and admit Russia is attacking us. Surely, there will be backlash.
