Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona said Sunday that the federal government needs to do its part to inform Americans of the vast swath of election misinformation that's being consumed on social media platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.
"It's up to us, the people who serve in Congress and in the White House to get the information out there, that there is a tremendous amount of misinformation in this election, and it's not going to stop on Nov. 5," Kelly said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
Kelly, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he's seen these misinformation operations target not only his state of Arizona, but also other battleground states.
"There is a very reasonable chance I would put it in the 20 to 30% range, that the content you are seeing, the comments you are seeing, are coming from one of those three countries: Russia, Iran, China," Kelly said.
