An author webpage for Lauren Chen is actually no longer available on the webpage for far-right activist Charlie Kirk's company, Switching Factor United States. Along with her partner, Chen co-founded a provider, Tenet Media, that goes to the heart of the DOJ indictment. YouTube took down numerous Canon Media networks as well as one field media reporter said the channel has "finished" after the feds declared Chen and her other half purposefully utilized it to funnel millions of bucks coming from Russian authorities to right-wing material designers that were actually spent to drive far-right as well as pro-Kremlin chatting points.

One can just picture what the group conversations are actually seeming like in MAGA globe nowadays.
