If it just happened, wait for real journalists to write about it. Part of Daily Wire’s schtick is getting ahead of the story so they can create their own narrative. And it doesn’t matter how factual it is, because once the story is out there, they have done their job of sewing disinformation. Social Media does the rest.
Don’t give them implicit credibility through sharing their garbage in credible places simply by virtue of them being first.
The daily wire is reposting it as news to drum up ire and views. It should still be a red flag when only one source is posting something, and it should prompt you to dig a little deeper.
That said, it seems pretty likely that this is something she really said a few months ago, and that mixed with her recent interviews where she blames Russia… It’s not great.
It just happened, it’ll be picked up soon enough. I can’t just link directly to the video. You can only post an article here.

This has not been picked up by any reputable sources. Mostly because I don’t believe it just happened. According to Code Pink, who organized the protest being filmed, this event happened in October, and the protester who the comment was directed to is on Day 8 of a fast, which probably means this event did not happen yesterday. Though this is also very heavily biased reporting.
