A fake social media post targeting a California Lutheran University professor led to online harassment and threats after a screenshot falsely attributed violent comments about former President Donald Trump to the professor. The university and police are investigating the incident, emphasizing that the post is fabricated, and the professor denies involvement. Right-wing social media accounts amplified the fake post, causing a wave of hostile messages. Efforts are underway to identify the originators of the disinformation and provide support to the victim while maintaining sensitivity and privacy during the ongoing investigation.
