🚨 WARNING -- #FakeNews ALERT 🚨

Right NOW, on #YouTube , there is an onslaught of identical #bot videos being posted at the EXACT same time to at least *24* different accounts, and others soon after that. All of the accounts mimic local news channels, but are fake accounts, from different major networks.

For example:

CBS Austin
News 4 (WOAI) San Antonio
News 5 WCYB
The National Desk
ABC 7 Amarillo
Fox Nashville
WRSP/WCCU Fox 55/27 Illinois
KOKH
KFOX 14
Tulsa's News Channel 8
...And more.

My attempt to leave comments on each, warning that it is a bot video and AI spam campaign, have been repeatedly deleted by the video poster.

All of them are about #TulsiGabbard launching an investigation into #RussianInterference in the #2016Election at the instruction of #DonaldTrump. Most-- but not all-- use the headline, "Trump Wants to Reveal 2016 Election Sabotage Claims."
