**Misleading:** Johnson only announced a future investigation—no video exposing $100M fraud has been released. He teased traveling to California "next week" to investigate, referencing pre-existing fraud stats. https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/influencer-benny-johnson-teases-massive-california-fraud-investigation-next-week-minnesota-nick-shirley-tim-walz-gavin-newsom

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/2018107093006651519
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
