The Hound 9/16

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today we’re talking about the rise of gun violence in red states, Trump deploying the National Guard to Memphis amid local crime concerns, and more.

We’re also tracking how conservative media outlets have propagated unverified reports suggesting that Charlie Kirk’s alleged was a “trans terrorist”.
