Americans on social media are reacting to the increased kinetic events in Israel with clear negativity. Analyzing these discussions reveals a widespread dissatisfaction with the actions and positions of all nations involved.
U.S. conversations reflect dissatisfaction with Israel's military strategies, outrage at Iran's aggressive stance, and criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Each party faces its own unique form of condemnation, highlighting the complexity and contentiousness of the geopolitical landscape.
Israel’s Unpopularity
Israel's role in the conflict, particularly its military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, draw widespread criticism from Americans. Many accuse Israel of using excessive force and causing disproportionate civilian suffering, especially in Gaza.
There is a strong sentiment that Israeli actions, particularly in response to missile strikes, contribute to an endless cycle of violence that exacerbates tensions in the region. Some discussions point to Israel’s historical military engagements as part of the larger problem, saying its aggressive posture has failed to secure peace and intensified animosity. This perspective sees Israel as a key provocateur in the ongoing conflict, with military operations as heavy-handed and counterproductive.
However, many Americans also defend Israel’s right to self-defense, especially in the face of Iranian missile strikes and the activities of Iranian-backed militias. This camp, though supportive, still voices frustration over the humanitarian toll. This suggests, even among Israel supporters, there is unease about the broader consequences of conflict.
Iran’s Unpopularity
Americans widely condemn Iran’s actions, especially the recent missile strikes on Israeli targets. Many frame Iran as a destabilizing force in the Middle East, blaming its military provocations for escalating the conflict. People view Iran as an aggressor for using its missile technology and supporting militant groups like Hezbollah. People see Iran as a direct threat to regional and global security.
Discussion emphasizes the danger of Iranian-backed forces and the broader implications of Iran’s involvement, with some expressing fear that these aggressive actions could lead to a larger global conflict.
Despite this, a small group argue Iran’s military actions are a form of retaliation against Israel’s long-standing dominance in the region. This group suggests the focus on Iran as the aggressor overlooks the broader context of Israeli military operations. They claim Israel provokes responses from Iran.
U.S. Actions and Criticism
The United States, specifically under the Biden administration, also faces substantial criticism for its handling of the conflict. A common narrative is that the U.S. has emboldened Iran by easing sanctions and engaging diplomatically with Tehran.
Critics argue this perceived appeasement has allowed Iran to become more aggressive in its actions against Israel, leading to the current state of heightened tensions. Many contrast this with the Trump’s foreign policy, which people say maintained a firmer stance on Iran, thereby preventing such escalations.
There is also frustration with how the U.S. media portrays the conflict. Americans accuse mainstream outlets of bias, especially in how they report on Israeli and Iranian actions. This perceived media manipulation adds to the dissatisfaction with U.S. leadership, as many feel public perception is being shaped to fit a particular narrative rather than reflecting the complex realities on the ground.
Whistleblower allegations linking Minnesota Governor and Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are sparking online discussion. Voter reactions vary based on political affiliation, with strong opinions on both sides.
Republicans view the allegations as confirmation of foreign influence on U.S. politics.
Democrats largely dismiss them as politically motivated attacks.
Independents express skepticism and curiosity, asking for transparency.

Democrats: 55-70% dismiss the claims as politically motivated
65-72% of all voters have concerns over foreign influence
60-65% of all voters distrust the media
Republicans
For Republicans, the whistleblower allegations heighten existing fears of foreign interference by China—and adversarial country. Roughly 70-85% of Republicans expressed strong negative sentiment, viewing this news as validating existing concerns that Democratic leaders are compromised.
Right leaning voters deeply distrust Walz, rallying behind calls for accountability and continued investigation. Many also hope these revelations will mobilize voters who care about national security and sovereignty.
Independents
Independent voters have varied responses, with 55-60% expressing ambivalence. They are curious and concerned but hesitate to accept the allegations at face value. Their reactions underscored the need for transparency and thorough investigation.
Many are frustrated with political sensationalism and worried increasingly scandalous claims with no significant resolution or clear evidence, could undermine serious political dialogue.
Democrats
Democratic voters largely reject the whistleblower allegations, with 55-70% dismissing them as politically motivated attacks. Many view the allegations as an attempt to discredit a prominent Democratic leader ahead of the 2024 election.
Many are skeptical about the validity of whistleblower claims, framing them as part of a broader effort to destabilize their party and divert attention from critical issues like healthcare and the economy.
Broader Public Concerns
In general, Americans have significant political and societal anxieties. Around 65-72% of voters say they’re concerned over potential CCP influence in U.S. politics and looming war. This concern transcended partisan lines, highlighting widespread fears about foreign policy and influence.
Additionally, 60-65% say they distrust media coverage, with both sides of the political spectrum criticizing the way the allegations are being reported. Especially among Republicans, there is criticism toward CBS for failing to mention the allegations during the Vice Presidential Debate.
Many Americans turn to alternative media sources like X, believing mainstream outlets either downplay or sensationalize the story.
The narrative that Iran is responsible for plotting to assassinate Donald Trump is generating heated discussion online. There is a divide between skeptics and those who believe Iran is an active danger. News that Donald Trump was briefed on intelligence about Iranian plots to kill him and reports that the Secret Service knew about these plots prior to the Butler, PA attempt, is causing consternation among voters.

Most Americans are skeptical about the alleged Iranian plot against Trump, with approximately 60-70% expressing doubt. The primary reason people cite is distrust of political narratives.
Many say reports only serve as a distraction from domestic issues, such as economic problems, crime, and immigration. These, Americans believe, are more pressing concerns than foreign threats. This cynicism is exacerbated by widespread accusations of “fake news” and disinformation. Some say political leaders are using Iran as a convenient scapegoat to manipulate public sentiment.
Skeptics also cite a lack of credible evidence to support the claim that Iran is actively targeting Trump. Lack of concrete proof leads many to believe reports are exaggerated or completely fabricated to serve partisan agendas. This perception of manipulation is especially prominent among critics of Biden's foreign police. Overall, there is disillusionment with both U.S. leadership and media. People view political leaders as incompetent or corrupt and the media as complicit.
Some base their skepticism on a broader understanding of geopolitical dynamics. They say Iran plotting against Trump is unlikely given the current state of U.S.-Iran relations. They view allegations of assassination plots as part of a larger pattern of fearmongering by playing up the threat of foreign adversaries. This group is weary of foreign intervention narratives, viewing them as tools to manipulate public opinion prior to the election.
Belief that Trump is Under Threat
Despite the prevailing skepticism, 30-33% say they believe Iran poses a legitimate threat to Trump. This belief is bolstered by views of Iran as a long-standing adversary of the U.S. and a direct threat to national security. This group highlights Trump’s tough stance on Iran, particularly withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and overseeing the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani. To this group, Iran is targeting Trump as retaliation.
Believers see the alleged plot as a continuation of Iran’s efforts to destabilize U.S. politics and undermine its global standing. They say Trump’s aggressive foreign policy made him a target, and assassination plots are not only plausible but expected. Many frame Iran as a persistent threat to U.S. interests and a dangerous and hostile actor.
Many say the media portraying Trump as a victim of foreign threats as an essential part of his political narrative. They say targeting by Iran fits into a broader storyline of him standing up to adversaries, both foreign and domestic. This reinforces support for Trump and fuels a desire for stronger national security policies that prioritize defending the U.S.
Polarization and the Role of National Security
Division about where threats to Trump’s life are coming from reflects ongoing polarization in American political discourse. Discussions about Iran’s alleged plot are colored by political views and opinions on national security.
Skeptics align with a more critical stance toward the U.S. government and media, seeing both as complicit in manipulating public opinion.
Believers are more likely to support strong national security, viewing Trump as a defender of American interests against foreign threats.
Polarization is complicated by the perception of foreign influence in domestic politics. Many, regardless of whether they believe the allegations, express concern about the broader implications of foreign actors meddling in U.S. elections and politics.
Even those who are doubtful of the Iranian plot, acknowledge Iran could be working to destabilize U.S. politics through indirect means. This intersection of foreign and domestic narratives creates a complex environment where discussions about national security, political motives, and media credibility all converge.
Language Usage in Belief and Dismissal
An analysis of the language used in voter discussions about the alleged Iranian plot reveals a similar division in verbiage. First-person language, such as "I believe" or "we should be concerned," is predominantly used by those who believe in the narrative.
Around 78% of belief-oriented comments use first-person pronouns, indicating a strong emotional or personal investment in the idea that Iran is targeting Trump. This personal connection suggests believers view the issue as an extension of their identity or values, aligning their political stance with national security concerns.
Third-person language, like "critics claim" or "the administration has exaggerated," is more commonly found in comments that dismiss the narrative. 78% of dismissive comments rely on third-person pronouns, indicating a more detached and analytical approach. Skeptics often critique the narrative from a distance, questioning the motives behind claims and expressing doubts about the evidence.
With tensions between Israel and Lebanon rising and possibly entering kinetic conflict, MIG Reports data shows voter sentiment about the situation. Analysis reveals who people support and why, as well as how deeply they comprehend the complexities of the situation. Americans are split between support for Israel or Lebanon, with a polarized understanding of who is in the wrong.
American Sentiment
Support for Israel: 50%
Support for Lebanon: 30%
Neutral stance: 10%
Other: 10% (support for broader regional stability)
Understand of the Conflict
High understanding: 40%
Partial understanding: 30%
Low understanding: 30%
Support for Israel
Around half of MIG Reports sample data shows support for Israel, primarily grounded in its right to self-defense and historical alliance with the United States. Supporters emphasize Israel’s role in defending itself against Hezbollah, viewing it as a fight against terrorism.
Emotional appeals to security, defense, and democratic values drive much of this support, particularly in Americans conversations which frame Israel as a strategic ally in the volatile Middle East.
Support for Lebanon
About 30% side with Lebanon, focusing on humanitarian concerns and a belief that Israel’s response has been excessive. This group highlights civilian casualties, pointing to accusations of war crimes and Israel occupying Palestinian territories.
Lebanon support uses sympathy for the plight of innocent people caught in the crossfire, emphasizing international accountability and diplomacy.
Neutral
Disengaged observers advocate for de-escalation, ceasefires, and peace negotiations between the two nations. This group focuses on the broader geopolitical picture, calling attention to Middle Eastern conflict, viewing the Israel-Lebanon conflict as part of a larger power struggle. This involves regional actors like Iran and global players like the U.S.
Not A Thinking Man’s Commentariat
While public opinion is divided, the level of understanding about the conflict varies significantly. Only 40% demonstrate a high level of understanding, engaging in discussions that reflect an awareness of the historical context and geopolitical stakes. These discussions reference past conflicts, the role of Hezbollah, and the ongoing implications of regional dynamics involving Iran and Israel. This group tends to offer more nuanced opinions, factoring in the complex interplay of politics, religion, and military strategy.
Some 30% voice partial understanding. Their discussions show confusion over specific details, such as the distinctions between different groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Some also lack depth in their analysis of U.S.-Israel relations. While they recognize the gravity of the situation, they often fail to provide a fully informed view, defaulting to emotionally charged or politically motivated opinions.
The remaining 30% reflect a lack of comprehension, relying heavily on political slogans or knee-jerk emotional responses. This group reduces the conflict to a binary choice of “good” versus “evil,” using rhetoric without substantiating their positions with factual analysis. Their comments are simplistic, focusing on fear of U.S. involvement or general frustration with global conflicts, rather than the intricacies of Israel-Lebanon relations.
The ongoing discourse about Ukrainian President Zelensky’s perceived campaign against Donald Trump exposes partisan divides in the United States. As conversations unfold among voters from all political affiliations, tensions cause strong reactions to Zelensky’s actions, viewed through ideological lenses.
Many are discussing the apparent fervent support for President Zelensky among Democrats, hinting at a stronger alliance between Ukraine and a potential Harris administration.
Worth noting that Zelenskyy was flown to Pennsylvania on an U.S. Air Force C-17.

Zelensky’s actions are widely seen as foreign interference, fueling anger and reinforcing support for Trump. More than 60% of Republicans indicate their intention to vote for Trump, viewing Zelensky’s involvement with politicians as an attack on U.S. sovereignty.
Democrats
Zelensky’s opposition to Trump aligns with their criticisms of Trump’s foreign policy—especially regarding Ukraine and Russia. While this validates their stance and energizes some, Democrats were already largely opposed to Trump, making the impact on turnout less significant compared to Republicans.
Independents
More divided, Independents have varied criticisms. Some support Zelensky’s critique of Trump, while others worry about foreign influence in U.S. elections. Moderate enthusiasm is lower, with about a third considering voting for a third-party. This suggests frustration with the polarized political landscape.

Across all voter groups, there is a growing sense of polarization, with partisan lines remaining entrenched. Discussions often highlight fears of foreign interference, causing a surge of nationalism, particularly among Republicans. These dynamics may or may not impact on voter behavior, with Republicans and Democrats rallying around their respective candidates while Independents increasingly withdraw from the political process.
Voter Discussion Analysis
Beyond surface-level reactions to Zelensky’s opposition against Trump, discourse shows further sociopolitical undercurrents shaping voter behavior in the United States. There is both a reaction to a foreign leader's involvement in American politics and broader existential concerns among the electorate.
Republicans
Zelensky's actions have become a proxy for wider anxieties about national sovereignty, globalism, and the perceived erosion of American exceptionalism. More than 60% of Republicans say Ukraine relations make them likely to turn out for Trump. This reflects the image of Trump as both a candidate and a symbol of resistance against external forces, both foreign and domestic.
Democrats
Zelensky’s critique of Trump serves as confirmation of Democrats’ existing narrative which frames Trump as damaging America's standing on the global stage. They believe he has weakened democratic alliances and emboldened autocratic regimes.
While Democrats are already motivated to oppose Trump, Zelensky’s involvement adds righteous moral dimension to their cause. They claim to vote for the preservation of democratic values under siege from authoritarianism—both within and outside the U.S.
Independents
The reaction among Independent voters is complex. Their ambivalence reflects a broader societal fatigue with the binary, hyper-polarized nature of American politics. Many Independents are skeptical of both sides, recognizing Zelensky’s actions as problematic but also viewing Trump’s foreign policy as flawed.
Internal conflict among Independents reveals disillusionment with Trump and Harris, but with also political system overall. Their disengagement is a response to Zelensky’s actions and a reflection of dissatisfaction with both political parties.
There is a sense that neither party adequately addresses the nuanced realities of global politics or the multifaceted concerns of American voters. Independents who say they plan to abstain or vote third-party highlight the withdrawal of many who view politics overly simplistic and manipulated by underlying agendas.
Snapshot of the Trajectory
More abstractly, Zelensky’s involvement in this election serves as a demonstration of national politics which can no longer be disentangled from global events. Voter reactions to Zelensky are not merely about Ukraine or Trump but part of a larger narrative about globalization, foreign interference, and the decline of traditional nation-state autonomy.
Both Republican and Democratic voters struggle with this reality. Republicans through a lens of protectionism and anti-globalism, Democrats through a framework of moral internationalism. Independents are caught in the middle, divided between their desire for nuanced political discourse and a binary political system.
There is also a sense of the mediated nature of public discourse, where social media acts as an echo chamber, amplifying existing biases and simplifying complex geopolitical issues. Confirmation bias, biased media, emotionally charged rhetoric, and eroded trust in traditional institutions all contribute to a tribal public dialogue.
The Zelensky versus Trump narrative does more than mobilize voters—it exposes the conflicted nature of American political cohesion and deepening divides between voters and institutions. This raises questions about the future of governance, the role of foreign influence in national narratives, and whether the U.S. is capable of engaging in complex global realities without further fracture.
The recent pager and beeper explosions targeting Hezbollah members across Lebanon and Syria have ignited widespread reactions among Americans. As Israel’s operation unfolds, Americans and international observers engage in heated debates. Pro-Israel voices express admiration for the operation's precision while pro-Palestine advocates condemn the attack. Voter discourse shows:
45% of Americans speak out against the attacks
35% support the operation
30% are neutral
Supporting the Operation
Israel supporters praise the ingenuity and boldness of the beeper operation. They marvel at Israel’s ability to infiltrate Hezbollah’s communication network and conduct simultaneous detonations across multiple locations. Many describe the operation as a masterstroke, calling it "audacious" and comparing it to scenes from a spy thriller.
Some believe this is a game-changing blow to Hezbollah’s infrastructure, framing the operation as a significant victory for Israeli intelligence. The use of technology to exploit Hezbollah's vulnerabilities resonates with those who see the attack as a critical move to disrupt terrorist activities and protect regional security.
Supporters say targeting Hezbollah operatives with precision, while avoiding large-scale collateral damage, demonstrates Israel's military capability and strategic advantage in modern warfare.
Against the Operation
Those condemning the attack, typically pro-Paletine Democrats, express outrage over its indiscriminate nature and the resulting civilian casualties. Critics label the operation a "war crime" and accuse Israel of terrorism, pointing out the explosions not only targeted Hezbollah members but also injured and killed innocent civilians, including children and medical workers.
The ethical implications of using such technology raise alarm for this group. They argue remote detonation of devices blur the line between targeted strikes and indiscriminate violence. Some see the operation as a disproportionate response, reflecting a broader pattern of aggressive military tactics by Israel.
This group also draws attention to what they perceive as a double standard in how international media and governments react to such incidents. They say if a similar attack had been carried out by Hezbollah, it would have been universally condemned as terrorism.
Neutral Perspectives
Neutral observers take an analytical approach, focusing on the broader implications of the operation and the Israel-Hamas conflict overall. These discussions explore the strategic use of technology in modern warfare, noting the ability to detonate devices remotely represents a significant evolution in combat tactics.
Some express concern about the precedent this sets for future conflicts, questioning whether such tactics could be used against civilians or exploited in other theaters of war. Others analyze the potential geopolitical consequences, speculating on how Hezbollah or other groups may retaliate and what the long-term effects could be for Israel. Americans allyship with Israel sparks debates about the potential for escalating tensions.
The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, particularly Ukraine’s request for more U.S. weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory, triggers complex and divided discussions among Americans. Voters express support, opposition, and fears over U.S. involvement and the potential escalation to global conflict or World War III.
MIG Reports analysis of discussions about Ukraine, Russia, and U.S. national security concerns show some shifts in American sentiment based on framing and context.
Support for Ukraine
The level of support for Ukraine varies significantly depending on how the discussion is framed. When conversations directly focus on Ukraine’s situation, there is a notably higher level of support compared to discussions that center around broader national security concerns or Russia’s position.
In Ukraine-focused discussions, 60-70% of comments express solidarity with Ukraine, emphasizing the nation’s right to defend itself and criticizing Russia’s actions. This elevated support can be partially attributed to social pressure and selective bias—people may feel compelled to express solidarity due to the emotional framing of Ukraine as a victim of aggression.
In discussions centered on national security and Russia, support for Ukraine drops to 42%. These conversations introduce more critical perspectives, reflecting concerns about U.S. involvement and the potential unintended consequences of escalating military aid. Americans tend to be more cautious and pragmatic when the issue is framed around security or the complexities of geopolitical tensions.
Opposition to U.S. Involvement
Across all discussions, 31% of Americans express opposition to further U.S. involvement in the conflict, particularly when discussions focus on national security and Russia. Voters worry about the risks of escalation. They question why the U.S. should deepen its involvement in a conflict many view as not directly related to national interests.
In Ukraine-focused conversations, 15-20% express opposition. Some are reluctant to involve the U.S. further, but overall criticism is less pronounced. This, again, could be linked to selective bias where only conversations explicitly focused on Ukraine draw a sympathetic audience.
Neutral or Undecided
Around 25-27% of Americans remain neutral or undecided about the conflict. This group often expresses confusion or uncertainty about the situation’s complexity, calling for more information. These neutral opinions appear consistent regardless of the discussion's framing. This suggests many Americans remains unsure of how the U.S. should proceed.
Voter Discussion Themes
Discussions About Ukraine Support Ukraine
Voters who focus their discussion on Ukraine tend to present an emotional framing that portrays Ukraine as a victim of Russian aggression. This emphasis on moral responsibility, humanitarian concerns, and geopolitical justice includes stronger sentiments of support for Ukraine.
This pattern suggests selective bias and social pressure play a role. Voters may feel compelled to express pro-Ukraine views or avoid criticism in emotionally charged conversations. It’s also possible those who ardently support Ukraine are the main group discussing this subject. The focus on Ukraine itself seems to amplify positive sentiment compared to broader geopolitical discussions.
Concerns Over U.S. Involvement and Escalation
In discussions about national security or broader geopolitical implications, public opinion is more cautious. The potential risk of escalating conflict, especially drawing the U.S. into a deeper military engagement, emerges as a major concern.
People worry about the unintended consequences of providing Ukraine more advanced weapons, especially long-range systems that could directly target Russian territory. This theme draws more pragmatic and risk-averse perspectives into the discussion.
Fears of World War III
The fear of a larger global conflict is a recurring concern across all discussions. Around 50% of Americans express concerns about the potential for WW3. This sentiment is consistent whether the conversation is about Ukraine’s need for U.S. weapons, broader security concerns, or Russia’s actions.
This highlights American anxiety about the potential for escalated conflict beyond the region, potentially drawing in NATO and other global powers. Even when some downplay the risks, fears of a broader war remain a significant narrative driver.
As the 2024 election draws near, accusations of Russian interference are reigniting debates among American voters. Recent allegations, similar to those in past elections, have stirred widespread conversation across various platforms.
Public sentiment reflects a sharp divide, with both skepticism and acceptance shaping the discourse. This analysis aggregates findings from numerous data sets, examining whether Americans believe claims of foreign interference, discussion dynamics, and key themes.
MIG Reports data shows:
52.8% of express skepticism and distrust of Russian interference claims
47.2% of voice belief in recent allegations
How Voters Talk About Foreign Interference
Skepticism and Disbelief
Throughout the discussion, voters continue to express skepticism. In some instances, up to 65% of the public view interference accusations as politically motivated. People use terms like "propaganda," "conspiracy," and "fake news.”
Similarly, the language of disbelief centers around the timing of the allegations, which many see as a tactic to delegitimize political opponents. A recurring theme is the perception that these accusations align with broader concerns of government overreach and media manipulation, indicating a deep mistrust in institutional credibility.
Concern Over Foreign Influence
Despite the overarching skepticism, many voters are concerned about foreign interference. Roughly 45% believe that Russia is engaged in disinformation campaigns to varying degrees. Although less dominant, this belief is tied to fears of a compromised electoral system, reflecting concerns about democratic integrity and the influence of external actors on domestic politics.
Divisive Narratives and Emotional Tone
The language used in these discussions reveals the intensity of public sentiment. Intense anger and frustration cause discussions about fascist, tyranny, and free speech. This passionate rhetoric shows anxiety over foreign and domestice interference and a broader fear of losing democratic control. The emotionally charged nature of these conversations points to a sense oof outrage at the current state of U.S. politics, further complicating the discussion on election integrity.
The recent arrest of Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff for New York Governor Kathy Hochul, sparked widespread discussions of international interference. Sun, charged with being a foreign agent for the Chinese government, has become the focal point of debates centered on foreign influence, national security, and political accountability.
As the investigation unfolds, public opinion includes fear, distrust, and outright anger. This analysis views discussions about China’s influence, security concerns, and Kathy Hochul’s involvement. These topics illustrate a complex narrative of suspicion and perceived vulnerabilities in governance.
MIG Reports data shows:
70% of discussion revolves around Sun’s ties to China
These discussions expose public anxieties about foreign infiltration, as Americans use words like "espionage," "corruption," and "betrayal." Public sentiment across all three categories is overwhelmingly negative, with heightened demands for accountability and transparency.
China’s Influence
Discussions concerning China center around the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the threat it poses to U.S. political integrity. Voters discuss treason and corruption, fearing Sun’s actions represent only a fraction of a broader, more insidious infiltration by Chinese interests.
The systemic nature of this threat resonates with those who draw connections between Sun’s case and historical instances of espionage. Their shared worries suggest a pervasive anxiety about foreign influence compromising American sovereignty.
Security Concerns
Discussions related to national security focus on betrayal and compromised American safety. About 60% of comments emphasize the severity of foreign entities, such as Sun, influencing state governance. Many voters express distrust toward local governments to protect their constituents.
Some also view Sun’s arrest as indicative of broader weaknesses in national security infrastructure. The words "accountability," "threat," and "safety" dominate, highlighting a call for stricter regulations and vigilant oversight to prevent similar incidents.
Hochul’s Involvement
A smaller portion of the discussion focuses on implicating Governor Kathy Hochul in her former chief of staff’s misdeeds. People link her administration with accusations of negligence and complicity. Around 35% of comments focus on Hochul’s potential ties to the scandal, with feelings of skepticism.
Words like "infiltrated" and "corrupted" permeate the conversation, as many question the integrity of Hochul’s leadership and the possibility of further foreign agents operating undetected in New York.
