The FBI took a virtual beating on Thursday for an X post highlighting Director Christopher Wray’s “warning” to foreign actors who might have designs on meddling in American elections: “Knock it off.”
With a display of force not seen since President Joe Biden told Iran, “don’t” enlist terrorist proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to attack Israel — or since Vice President Kamala Harris warned migrants, “do not come” — Wray urged foreign adversaries to butt out and leave American elections alone.
“‘Knock it off.’ — Says FBI Director Christopher Wray to foreign adversaries meddling in American democracy,” the post read.
