How Trump’s rally shooting played out on social media


Listen Later

Almost immediately after a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally over the weekend, leaving the former president with minor injuries, partisan misinformation and conspiracies flooded social media feeds. Chris Krebs has been tracking the attack and how the internet has responded — from U.S. lawmakers to Russian operatives — for cybersecurity firm SentinelOne. You may recognize Krebs’ name: He was the head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency until Trump fired him in 2020 for refuting claims the election was stolen. On POLITICO Tech, Krebs joins host Steven Overly to talk takeaways from the shooting’s social media aftermath.
