Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov played the widely-mocked clip from French channel 24 and then went into a rant on how Israel uses political assassination to further their goals.

Citing “a French channel,” Solovyov aired a clip from a French-language segment of an Israeli TV network in which the anchor told viewers that Hamas “claims the helicopter pilot was a Mossad agent” named “Eli Copter.” The anchor, Daniel Haik, has already been widely mocked for taking the internet joke at face value and reciting it on-air.

Schoening is a former leader of the El Paso County chapter of the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty. Under the leadership of Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, the state Republican Party has tacked to the hard right despite holding less electoral power than at any time since before World War II. Culture war issues, like attacks on gay and transgender people, especially youth, have become a focus of Republicans nationwide in 2024.
