X community adds a context note to Laura Loomer post: Political commentator Laura Loomer posted a screenshot of an article from her website Loomered.com titled "EXCLUSIVE: DeSantis Having First South Carolina Event With State Senator Arrested For Molesting His 3 Year Old Son." The post was in reply to a post by South Carolina State Senator Josh Kimbrell, which read "Just landed in Iowa for my friend @RonDeSantis. As I conservative, I know leadership when I see it, and DeSantis is it." Loomer added her own commentary to the screenshot, saying "Nice company you keep, @RonDeSantis! I’m sure the people of Iowa will love seeing this. https://loomered.com/2023/04/19/exclusive-desantis-having-first-south-carolina-event-with-state-senator-arrested-for-molesting-his-3-year-son/…" The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.
