The pilot of the helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River in New York City on Thursday, killing all six people onboard, has been identified as 36-year-old Sean Johnson. Johnson was a Navy SEAL veteran. “Sean Johnson posted a video on his Facebook page on March 27, showing himself over Lower Manhattan in a Bell 206 helicopter. He had previously flown in Chicago, according to his profile,” Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote. “After his time in the U.S. Navy as a SEAL and gunner’s mate responsible for fixing equipment, Johnson took on a variety of jobs, including on a TV show and as a bodyguard for celebrities, his wife said. But through it all, Kathryn added, he ‘always wanted to fly,'” it added.

Johnson had worked in television and as a bodyguard to celebrities before recently moved to New York City to continue his aviation career, Gothamist reported, citing his wife. He was operating a doomed Bell 206 on Thursday as part of a sightseeing tour for a family of five from Barcelona. It’s unclear if the chopper he was flying in the Facebook footage was the same helicopter he was operating this week when it crashed, killing him and the five tourists. It took authorities an hour to recover his body because the wreckage was so mangled, law-enforcement sources said.

She said they last spoke on Wednesday, though he did not mention any plans for a flight the next day. Johnson’s friends, former colleagues and shipmates took to social media Friday to express condolences. “I saw your posts all the time about how much you wanted to be a pilot and how hard you worked to get there,” wrote Erika Gracious. “RIP Sean Johnson, another Shipmate gone too soon.” Remi Adeleke wrote on Instagram that he met Johnson in the Navy. Johnson, he said, had realized his dream of becoming a pilot. “Sean came from very humble beginnings — but he never let that define or limit him. If anything, it fueled him,” posted Adeleke, a writer and actor. “He had a quiet determination, a spirit of resilience and a heart that always looked out for others.” The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration continued to investigate the cause of the crash Friday. Peter Goelz, a former managing director at the NTSB, said in an interview on CNN that the incident was “a catastrophic failure and very unusual,” and noted investigators would examine the wreckage, video footage and aircraft company records.

Butler was the location of an attempt on Trump's life at a July campaign rally last year. According to the Department of Justice, 32-year-old Shawn Monper was taken into custody by the FBI, with the assistance of the Butler Township Police Department, and was detained. A hearing is set for April 14. On April 8, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Section received an emergency disclosure regarding threats made by a YouTube user called "Mr Satan." Authorities found that the threatening statements occurred between January 15, five days before Trump entered office again, and April 5. An investigation revealed that the internet activity associated with the account corresponded with Monper’s address. The investigation also revealed that Monper obtained a firearms permit just after Trump’s inauguration. He allegedly wrote using the Mr Satan account in February, "I have bought several guns and been stocking up on ammo since Trump got in office." A March comment stated, "Eventually im going to do a mass shooting, and one week later he allegedly wrote, "I have been buying 1 gun a month since the election, body armor, and ammo." Other threats outlined in the complaint included one on February 17 which stated, "Nah, we just need to start killing people, Trump, Elon, all the heads of agencies Trump appointed, and anyone who stands in the way.

Trump, Other U.S. Officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents Shawn Monper, 32, a resident of Butler, Pennsylvania, has been charged by federal criminal complaint with making threats to assault and murder President Donald J. Trump, other U.S. officials, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. “I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Rest assured that whenever and wherever threats of assassination or mass violence occur, this Department of Justice will find, arrest, and prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum appropriate punishment.” Acting U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti for the Western District of Pennsylvania joined Attorney General Bondi in making today’s announcement. According to the federal criminal complaint, on April 8, the FBI National Threat Operations Section (NTOS) received an emergency disclosure regarding threats posted to YouTube by user “Mr Satan.” Federal agents determined that the threatening statements occurred between Jan 15 April 5. The subsequent federal investigation affirmed that the internet activity associated with “Mr Satan” corresponded with Monper’s residence. The investigation further established that Monper sought and obtained a firearms permit shortly following President Trump’s inauguration. In February 2025, Monper commented using his “Mr Satan” account: “I have bought several guns and been stocking up on ammo since Trump got in office.” Further, in March 2025, Monper commented using his account: “Eventually im going to do a mass shooting.” One week later, Monper commented: “I have been buying 1 gun a month since the election, body armor, and ammo.” The criminal complaint identified the following threatening statements regarding President Trump, other United States officials, and ICE agents: February 17, 2025: “Nah, we just need to start killing people, Trump, Elon, all the heads of agencies Trump appointed, and anyone who stands in the way. Remember, we are the majority, MAGA is a minority of the country, and by the time its time to make the move, they will be weakened, many will be crushed by these policies, and they will want revenge too. American Revolution 2.0” March 4, 2025: “im going to assassinate him myself.” This threat was made in a YouTube video titled “Live: Trump’s address to Congress.” March 18, 2025: “ICE are terrorist people, we need to start killing them.” April 1, 2025: “If I see an armed ice agent, I will consider it a domestic terrorist, and an active shooter and open fire on them.” On April 9, the FBI, with the assistance of the Butler Township Police Department, arrested Monper on the federal criminal complaint. On April 10, Monper was ordered detained pending preliminary and detention hearings scheduled for April 14, at 1:00 pm. The FBI and Butler Township Police Department are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan J. McKenna is prosecuting the case. A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Oh, you're kidding me. Wait a minute—wait wait wait wait. He was shot? I didn't think George Washington was ever wounded. He did. They missed, just like this guy did. God. Yeah, that's the first chapter. George Washington running through Butler. I think we need to make sure everybody knows—if you're running for president, don't go to Butler. Jeez. And Butler—the reason why Butler is also so important—Butler is a symbol of everyday America, right? This is a county and a city that is a great big mix of suburbs but also industrial, and farmer, and ranchers, right? If you wanted to see like a melting pot of the country in one county, this is it, right? And he goes to places like that, and he lets people know that they are seen. Yeah, I know.

People might not remember—he was down in the polls then. This was before, you know, the primary process started and—and— And he was down in the polls. One week after he went to East Palestine, he shot out above DeSantis and Haley and never looked back.

Check this out: Butler, Pennsylvania, and its surrounding county have a surprisingly rich history of political and presidential connections, marked by both strange and significant events. Here’s a look at some notable occurrences tied to presidents or political happenings, beyond the well-known 1753 assassination attempt on George Washington and the 2024 attempt on Donald Trump: John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Campaign Stop: On October 15, 1960, then-Senator John F. Kennedy visited Butler during his presidential campaign. He spoke from the steps of the Butler County Courthouse to a crowd of about 5,000, despite the area’s staunch Republican leanings. A local anecdote claims Kennedy quipped about the Nixon Hotel across the street, saying, “Nixon Lodge? When I’m elected president, they’ll change it to Kennedy’s Inn.” This lighthearted jab at his opponent, Richard Nixon, reflected the competitive spirit of the election. Kennedy’s visit was a bold move in a region that rarely supported Democrats, making it a memorable political moment for Butler. William Howard Taft’s 1918 Visit: Former President William Howard Taft came to Butler on November 26, 1918, just weeks after the World War I armistice. Taft, who had been president from 1909 to 1913, spoke at the Majestic Theater to rally support for the League of Nations, an idea championed by his successor, Woodrow Wilson. His visit was part of a broader speaking tour, and he arrived after a warm reception in New Castle, accompanied by Butler’s civic leaders via a chartered streetcar. Taft’s hefty 350-pound frame reportedly required a rest in the Nixon Hotel’s Presidential Suite afterward, adding a quirky footnote to his stop in this small town. Warren G. Harding’s Funeral Train in 1923: Following President Warren G. Harding’s sudden death in August 1923, his funeral train passed through Butler County en route from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. While not a stop, the slow procession through the region drew mourners to the tracks, marking a somber political moment. Harding’s death sparked conspiracy theories nationwide, including poisoning rumors, though none were tied specifically to Butler. The event left a quiet imprint on the county’s historical memory. George Washington’s Earlier Visit and the “Washington’s Trail” Legacy: Before the 1753 assassination attempt near present-day Butler, Washington traversed the area in 1753 as a 21-year-old major on a mission for Virginia’s governor. His journey, now commemorated as “Washington’s Trail 1753,” included encounters with French and Native American forces, setting the stage for the French and Indian War. A historical marker near Butler notes his “narrow escape from death,” tying the region to the early political machinations of colonial America that shaped the future president’s career. The Trump Assassination Attempt of 2024: On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, just outside city limits. A bullet grazed his ear, one spectator was killed, and the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized by Secret Service. This event thrust Butler into the global spotlight, echoing its 1753 brush with Washington’s near-death experience. The region’s deep Republican tilt—Trump won nearly two-to-one in 2020—made the attack a shocking political anomaly in a supportive stronghold. Political Figures from Butler: The area produced notable political figures, though not presidents. William J. Perry, born in Butler in 1927, served as U.S. Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1997, rising from local roots to a key national role. Additionally, Walter Lowrie, Butler’s only U.S. Senator, served from 1819 to 1825 and built a home in 1828 that still stands behind the courthouse, now maintained by the Butler County Historical Society. These figures tie Butler to broader political history. If you want to see the entire interview, it was fascinating, and I have it for your below. Keep reading: Reporter Reveals What Trump Said BEFORE “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Reporter Reveals What Trump Said BEFORE “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Major credit to Glenn Beck recently for putting out some incredible videos! I don't mean to imply that's something new, Glenn has been one of my favorite sources for years, but he's really been crushing it recently. Today I want to show you his interview with journalist Selena Zito, who was with Trump in Butler, and for the first time ever that I've heard, she revealed what President Trump said down on the ground after being shot, right before he stood up and said "Fight! Fight! Fight!" It's all in the short video below, which is worth watching the whole thing but I'm not trying to hide the ball on you either, I've put the key part in red below in the transcript. It's all from her upcoming new book, which you can find on Amazon here if you're interested: https://amzn.to/42E8ovz Please enjoy: FULL TRANSCRIPT: Glenn Beck:We're talking to Selena Zito. She is the author of a coming book—uh, we'll talk to her again this summer when it comes out—a coming book called Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland. I think that's chapter one, that's the longest title—uh, Selena, I've ever heard.And my books have long titles. Selena Zito:I didn't come up with that. Glenn Beck:Yeah, okay. Anyway—um—you were talking about when he was shot,and you said it was the next day that was really telling. Let me ask you first, before you go into the next day—you were close enough to see when he was down on the ground. I asked him recently, privately, "What was going through your head?"And he said:"Uh, honestly Glenn, this is pathetic. It looks weak. Get up. You're not afraid. Get up. Get up." Yes. That was amazing. Has he talked to you about that? Selena Zito:Yeah. It’s in the book. I won’t give too much away—I want everyone to buy it. Glenn Beck:I’m ordering mine today. Everybody should read it. Because Selena is a great writer.She’s the one I would want to tell this story. But anyway, go ahead. Selena Zito:Yeah, yeah. Pre-orders—you know how important that is,especially if you don’t live in New York or D.C. So, we had that conversation, and I’ll tell you a little bit of it because I had the same—um, it was the way he explained it—it was so powerful. So first thing I think people should know is that he called me first thing in the morning the next day.And before I could even say hello, he said, “Selena, are you okay? Is your daughter okay?” Isn’t that crazy?And I kind of swore at the president—my mom’s going to be mad when she reads this part—but I said, “Are you bleeping kidding me? You’re the one that was shot, right?” But I was just so stunned that that—that that was the first thing he was thinking of.And it was o-dark in the morning, like it was really early. We proceeded to have about seven more phone calls—I think maybe more.And, you know, one of the things that he said to me was— So one thing people don’t know is before he said “Fight, fight, fight,” I could see him.He says “USA” twice. He’s still on the ground. And then I see him turn and get up and say “Fight, fight, fight.” Glenn Beck:Wow. Selena Zito:And so we talked about that.And I said, “Why?” Like you did. And he said, “Well, Selena, at that moment I wasn’t Donald Trump.I was symbolic. Even though I wasn’t president yet again—I had once been president—I had an obligation to show that the country is strong,that we will not be defeated, and that we are resolute. I did not want to be the symbol of America being weak.” Glenn Beck:Jeez, that does not happen—I mean, you’re bringing me to tears.That is not something that happens.That is in you.That is either in you or not in you, and it’s in very few people. Selena Zito:Yes. And we talk a lot about faith as well.There are some very gripping, emotional moments that he and I had—not only that next day,but also I saw him probably a dozen times after that at different rallies that I covered,and we had some very emotional conversations. But he believed in that moment—and I think he believes this always—you can tell by his swagger, you can tell by the way he talks,he always believes that you have a responsibility as the President of the United States. You are a symbol of the country and everything it stands for.You should project strength at all times.And he had it in that moment. Glenn Beck:Isn’t it weird—funny—yeah, go ahead. Selena Zito:Isn’t it weird? You know, there have been other world leadersthat have had assassination attempts,and it makes them egotistical. This assassination attempt actually humbled him and yet strengthened him.It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve seen. You know, he could have easily gone up and said,“It was the most beautiful bullet of all time, but my superpowers…”You know what I mean? And he doesn’t. He was like, “God saved me.” And he doesn’t use that as a—“That’s why you need to go stay at the Trump God golf course that I’m building.”I mean, you know what I mean? Glenn Beck:No, no, no. You’re exactly right.And if people are wondering why he is so resolute on everything that he’s doingand everything he is doing at such warp speed,it’s because he believes—and he told me this—that God was there. God saved him. Because he never uses a chart. He never turns away.He asks me several times, “I don’t know why.”Like out loud, he’s like, “I don’t know why I did that, Selena. I don’t know why I did that.” And the man you see today, and you see what he is projecting—no matter who is saying, “This is terrible. You’re going to break the country, blah blah blah, whatever it is”—he’s like, “No. I am supposed to do this. I am supposed to save this country.” And I don’t think you’re going to see him waver.Now, will he change his mind on things? Sure.He’s not dumb. He’s pragmatic. Selena Zito:Yes, he’s incredibly pragmatic.There’s also some—by the way—people will find out that Trump, in this book Butler,Trump is not the only president to be shot in Butler and almost die.George Washington did. Glenn Beck:Oh, you’re kidding me. Wait a minute.No, wait wait wait—he was shot?I didn’t think George—I didn’t think George Washington was ever wounded. Selena Zito:Oh, he did. They missed—just like this guy did. Glenn Beck:Oh my God. Selena Zito:Yeah, that’s the first chapter. George Washington running through Butler.I think we need to make sure everybody knows—if you’re running for president, don’t go to Butler. Jeez. And Butler—the reason why Butler is also so important is that Butler is a symbol of everyday America.This is a county and a city that is a great big mix of suburbs,but also industrial and farmers and ranchers. This is—if you wanted to see a melting pot of the country in one county, this is it.And he goes to places like that, and he lets people know that they are seen. Selena Zito:Yeah, I know. Just like East Palestine.That was the moment that changed the trajectory of his election—was showing up in East Palestine in February of 2023. People might not remember, he was down in the polls then.This was before the primary process started.And he was down in the polls.One week after he went to East Palestine, he shot out above DeSantis and Haley and never looked back. And that is that magic power that he has—in that he makes places, and people in those places, feel seen.And so the book will take you also through what nobody saw and heard during the election cycle. Glenn Beck:Hang on, hang on—let me go back to Butler here for a second.He also said to me the one thing that cemented where he knew—and I think this is part of where he got his swagger back—where he knew the American people were with him. He said, “I get back up and I see the crowd is not a jumble of chaos, everybody stampeding toward an exit.” I’ve never really seen the video of that moment from the crowd perspective, just—you always see the video of him.What was it like in the crowd when that was going on?What was happening to the crowd? Selena Zito:It was—it was like a miracle.People were not freaking out.People were cheering him on as he left.And after he was safely gone, they just quietly exited. And what is really profound, Glenn, is, you know, they kept me in the back for a long time.They were trying to make sure I wasn’t hit, because I never got down.And, you know, sometimes you don’t know if you’re hit, right? So I go out and walk with my daughter and my son-in-law.And we walk to our car—and this is on a big farm, right?And there’s—all those cars are still there.They hadn’t let anybody leave yet. And instead of people blowing their horns—like, this is an hour after it happened—instead of people freaking out, people were outside of their cars.They were hugging each other. They were sharing waters and food.Helping each other. Making sure everyone was okay. It was incredibly moving to be there.And I talked to people that were there—in the book.And it was absolutely—I get chills even talking about it—because what you saw in that moment was the way that people behave in a crisis situation.It can go one of two ways. And many people said to me they felt the presence of something greater than self in that moment.And they believed—they weren’t scared. They weren’t scared. Glenn Beck:Selena, the name of the book is Butler, and it’s coming out this summer.You can pre-order it now. I’m literally going to order my copy today. Because Selena is just—she’s a fantast—and just really, really good. So this is going to be a great story. Do you get into who the shooter was and all of that? Selena Zito:There—yeah, I mean, the shooter actually grew up maybe three miles from my home of 30 years.There’s not much to tell in terms of motive, but I really get into the family,the poor sportsman range where he went to. You know, this is a kid who—I went and looked at the log of when he went to the range.He went on Thanksgiving. He went on Christmas.He went on Valentine’s Day. These are days—you know, you’re able to get more of a profile of this gentleman. But I also—you know, this is a day that, had the wind blown any other way,had, you know, so many things gone differently—so many things could have been so wrong in that moment. And that’s the heart of Butler.And you saw it elsewhere throughout the election with the president. And like I said, there’s some funny spots.He chases me with hairspray all the time. Glenn Beck:Wait, all the time? Selena Zito:Oh yeah. Yeah. He thinks I have the greatest hair in America.And he will tell you that. But he also is like, “What? You need to wear hairspray?”I’m like, “Sir, I don’t want my hair any bigger. It’s Italian. I can’t help the way it looks.” And so yeah, there are some very humorous moments in the book as well,but also just really on the ground in Pennsylvaniaand really seeing what was happening in that election—not just with President Trump, but also with Harrison and Walt. There are some stories there that will blow people’s mindsin terms of how inept and unprepared they were. Glenn Beck:We’d love to have you back when the book is out.But thank you so much for sharing that.I know you didn’t plan on sharing it today,but thank you so much. Appreciate it. Selena Zito:Oh my gosh, thank you so much.I really deeply appreciate it. Glenn Beck:No, it’s always good to talk to you.Good, good dear friend, and one of the best journalists out there—Selena Zito. The name of the book is Butler. You can pre-order it now.Get it now and be one of the first to have it. We’ll try to have her back on when the book officially comes out,but it sounds like a great read. You can pre-order a copy of her new book on Amazon here if you want: PRE-ORDER LINK And now, before I wrap this up, I have to show you my favorite Glenn Beck segment of all time.... This one still cracks me up every time I watch it: GLENN BECK: “Hang on, our Themis has just gone off….” GLENN BECK: "Hang on, our Themis has just gone off...." This is a flashback to one of my favorite bits Glenn Beck has ever done....has me laughing hysterically every time I see it! Recently, I covered a new report from Glenn Beck. You can read that here. But I can't cover Glenn Beck and not show you one of the most hilarious things he's ever done. This one actually had me literally laughing out loud so I had to share it with you. I actually don't get to watch Glenn Beck all that often but I always liked him and I happened to click on this video of his today and it had me in stitches. So here's the background.... Apparently at Dubai Design Week (whatever that is) a new "invention" was released called the "Themis". Named after the Greek goddess of justice, the "Themis" is designed to sound an alarm when your speech includes something "offensive". Gee, what could possibly go wrong? This is the "goddess" Themis: And this is the new "invention": https://twitter.com/newsoneplace/status/1459856380513460230 https://twitter.com/aspals/status/1460673637632118789 The DailyMail had more info on the horrific new device: A new trigger-warning detector which sound alarms when it detects offensive speech has been unveiled at Dubai Design Week. The Themis is a lamp-sized device intended to 'moderate' debate in classrooms and universities and 'manifest political correctness' into a product. The small device could even be used to police language at dinner parties and family gatherings and its developers have said it hopes that Themis will encourage 'self-critique'. The Themis (pictured) emits irritating sounds when it detects racial slurs and 'offensive' jokes +2 The Themis will emit irritating sounds when it detects offensive speech has been said around it Zinah Issa, who unveiled the device in Dubai, told The Telegraph: 'Through the use of speech recognition and sound sensors we were able to program Themis to detect offensive terms - racial slurs, offensive jokes - through the microphone. 'Extremely bothersome alarms last approximately two minutes, after which Themis turns off, allowing an open, understanding discussion among people on the possible trigger matter and the potential reasons behind Themis's activation'. The device is named for Themis, the Greek goddess of justice and social order. Themis is being currently trialled in classrooms and universities with a view to a wider roll-out soon. The design were unveiled at the Global Grad Show where students from across the Middle East and North Africa were invited to share their work. So that's actually rather disturbing, but the part that had my cracking up was Glenn Beck's bit he did about it. In a sketch where he pretends to be talking to his co-host Stew, they start talking about the story and then find out that the Themis starts going off on Stew. When Glenn says "Hang on, our Themis has just gone off" I lost it. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking something or I would have sprayed it all over my computer screen.

Check this out where Lisa Page says, quote: “If they start digging deep, we are screwed…” FBI Lisa Page’s Chilling Admission: “If they start digging deep, we are screwed…” • Newly declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents reveal FBI attorney Lisa Page’s fear that the media, following a New York Times article, might start “digging deep” into the Crossfire… https://t.co/gsmpLni5Vj pic.twitter.com/3HN58QY40x — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) April 11, 2025 FBI Lisa Page’s Chilling Admission: “If they start digging deep, we are screwed…” • Newly declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents reveal FBI attorney Lisa Page’s fear that the media, following a New York Times article, might start “digging deep” into the Crossfire Hurricane investigation—exposing their plot to undermine President-elect Donald Trump. • On November 7, 2016, Lisa Page reacted to a New York Times article about Russian propaganda efforts tied to the 2016 election, specifically mentioning “lots of HRC-related emails.” • Her response in a message to colleagues—“if they start digging deep, we are screwed”—suggests the FBI team was hiding something explosive that couldn’t withstand scrutiny, possibly evidence of their own misconduct in targeting Trump. • Page also emphasized the need to maintain the FBI’s “good guys” image, “To remind people that we are STILL the good guys trying to keep America safe, and not political operatives who sway elections.” This admission of public perception shows at a deliberate cover-up, a plot to sway the election aftermath against Trump. Here are the goods, with key parts highlighted: Zoom in: But it gets worse….

THIS IS HUGE! • Flynn’s early targeting—before Trump’s inauguration—suggests a PREMEDITATED effort to sabotage the administration by taking down a key ally in a conspiracy to undermine Trump with a manufactured Russia narrative. “I’m worried Flynn will blab himself into a legit 65” These files lend credence to the fact that the investigation was a completely politically motivated setup from the start and they were looking to frame an incoming president of the United States.

KTLA, a Los Angeles-based television station, apologized for an “offensive word” being shared on its social media account. “KTLA experienced a technical error while adding language filters to our social media accounts, resulting in an offensive word being accidentally shared. We are appalled and apologize that this occurred,” KTLA wrote. KTLA experienced a technical error while adding language filters to our social media accounts, resulting in an offensive word being accidentally shared. We are appalled and apologize that this occurred. — KTLA (@KTLA) April 11, 2025 According to reports, the offensive word KTLA ‘accidentally’ posted was the N-word. “Currently, KTLA a major news media outlet and television station based in Los Angeles, widely known for its coverage of breaking news, live events, police pursuits, and more is facing significant backlash after an offensive racial slur was accidentally posted on its social media page. In an official statement, KTLA explained that a technical error occurred while configuring language filters on their platform, which led to the unintended and deeply inappropriate post,” Rawsalerts wrote.

KTLA’s apology tweet suggests that it accidentally tweeted out the N-word when whoever was running its social media account at the time intended to instead add it to the profile’s list of filtered words. That explanation has not stopped X users from criticizing both the station’s mistake and its apology for it. “Aside from this obviously not being true —why would a news outlet need language filters on social media accounts?,” one X user tweeted, while another simply predicted, “Someone’s getting fired today.” A different user cast doubt on KTLA’s explanation, writing, “That’s your excuse? Someone typed the word and hit send, that’s not an error.” Another just shared their outrage over the deleted tweet, remarking, “KKKTLA just took their white hood off.” @hearinladotcom, meanwhile, tweeted in response to the event, “If KTLA doesn’t have a person of color running its social media. Today would be a good day to declare it will hire one ASAP.” So far, KTLA’s only response to the Friday morning incident has been its apology tweet and “technical error” explanation. Los Angeles residents will no doubt be watching to see what the station does to further rectify the mistake and ensure that nothing like it happens again in the future. KTLA faced severe criticism for the deleted post containing the word. The term was highly offensive and should not have been posted on your platform. — Gerald A. Griggs (@AttorneyGriggs) April 11, 2025 This is unacceptable, and probably a total lie about language filters. — Art Candee (@ArtCandee) April 11, 2025 who posted that? it doesn't post by itself! — Joseph (@Joseph3141593) April 11, 2025 Never watching KKKTLA again. — Rev. Ray Cistman (@RevRayCistman) April 11, 2025 If Fox news or Republicans did this you'd be calling for charges and federal jail time. — Sarah (@SarahfromOC) April 11, 2025 This says it all. I made a comment about you guys hiding my reply and it got 280 likes, then you blocked me and just now hid that reply as well. Disgusting censorship. pic.twitter.com/qi9YTL9cNM — Insider Wire (@InsiderWire) April 11, 2025 Per Daily Beast: One sympathetic commenter tried to help the station explain the mishap. When an X user replied to the station’s apology post that the “highly offensive” term should have never made it into a post, one person co-signed the station’s explanation that “code” could be to blame. “I don’t know if you’re aware of this but in the algorithm for these things they have to include certain words to a section of the code to prevent users from actually posting them,” they wrote. Slurs may be included in filters used to detect and remove harmful language—but how that language would make it into the “post” box on the platform remains unexplained. One Facebook user replied to the station’s apology on that platform, “So who got fired before or after this error?”
