The original statement may contain potential misinformation or bias, as it relies on a single source to confirm the "prowling blacks" quote ^[1]. The lack of confirmation from multiple sources raises questions about the accuracy of the quote. Charlie Kirk and his supporters may benefit from the lack of confirmation, as it allows them to dispute the quote and claim that it is taken out of context or fabricated ^[2].
