A Reminder for Readers

If you’ve never encountered the term before, you’re not alone. And if you’ve come across posts making these accusations, it’s important to remember:

• Claims without reputable sourcing should be treated with skepticism.
• Online conspiracy groups often target public figures regardless of facts.
• Sharing or repeating misinformation can cause real harm.

Erika Kirk is the latest subject of this trend, but she certainly won’t be the last. Understanding how these online narratives work can help readers recognize misinformation and avoid unintentionally supporting harmful content.
