An author page for Lauren Chen is actually no more readily available on the webpage for far-right activist Charlie Kirk's company, Switching Aspect USA. Together with her spouse, Chen co-founded a provider, Canon Media, that goes to the heart of the DOJ charge. YouTube removed numerous Canon Media stations and one industry reporter stated the channel has "finished" after the feds affirmed Chen and her spouse intentionally used it to direct millions of dollars from Russian officials to conservative web content inventors that were paid for to press reactionary as well as pro-Kremlin chatting factors.

One can merely imagine what the team chats are actually resembling in MAGA world in today times.
