Buffalo Shooting 'False Flag' Operation?

Description

Buffalo Shooting 'False Flag' Operation, Suggest Wendy Rogers, Nick Fuentes. Wendy Rogers and Nick Fuentes, two prominent right-wing influencers, suggested Saturday that the racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, could be a false flag operation. As many politicians from both major parties expressed their sympathies for the victims following the deadly shooting, some far-right influencers instead promoted an unfounded conspiracy theory that the shooting was a false-flag operation. Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers, who is endorsed for reelection by former President Donald Trump, wrote in a Gettr post Saturday that "fed boy summer has started in Buffalo," referring to the theory among some right-wingers that FBI agents are behind acts of violence and are seeking to blame conservatives. Meanwhile, Nick Fuentes, a right-wing political commentator, who has been classified as a white nationalist by the Southern Poverty Law Center, described the shooting as a "new false flag" in a Saturday post on Telegram. Some claimed that the mass school shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, which saw several young students fatally shot, and Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, were both hoaxes. Believers of QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory, claimed a mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, last year was also a false flag operation, claiming that nobody actually died. They claimed the shooting was staged by federal authorities in an effort to promote gun control efforts. (Really?)
