Militia Group Targets US Weather Radars
The Spin
Democratic narrative
The far-right's dangerous conspiratorial trend, fueled by figures like Michael Meyer, has now led to real-world attacks against news and weather stations. False claims of "weather weapons" and geoengineering, amplified by GOP lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor Greene and influencers like Michael Flynn, incite violence and spread disinformation, undermining science and public safety.
Republican narrative
The left unfairly lumps all Republicans and conservatives with fringe militias like Veterans on Patrol. However, their errors don't validate liberal climate alarmism. Democrats exploit tragedies like the Texas floods to push climate change narratives, ignoring natural variability and the National Weather Service's effective forecasting. Both sides politicize disasters, but only conservatives face such accusations.
