All it took to go ultra viral on Twitter among the left & to get the immediate attention of journalists & those in Congress was to make an unsubstantiated claim from an anonymous account with barely any followers.

This thread from a man who claims @GregAbbott_TX sent a representative to offer money to pose w/the governor for #Uvalde has gone ultra-viral with the left. But I looked into who is really behind the account. Jason R. Nauertz, 43, is not from Texas. He's from Spokane, Wash. https://t.co/DogHRknaxs pic.twitter.com/VUjuZsbclB

Jason R. Nauertz has claimed on Twitter to be a 9/11 responder, a Purple Heart recipient, & to have had another nephew that was killed. No one with his name has received a Purple Heart.

Many left-wing verified accounts have amplified the claims & made it go viral with no independent scrutiny. It conforms to their bias so that's good enough to be true. An editor at the Austin Chronicle (@YorkshireTX) was among them. https://t.co/Tfo8v0MjDk pic.twitter.com/qWy0vyHSN2

The man behind the account (@mycancerjourne3) that claimed in a viral thread (retweeted over 32k times by the left) that Texas Gov. Abbott offered a bribe now claims he was hacked. He has locked or disabled his account & has deleted posts about the #Uvalde shooting.
