QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Missouri’s attorney general defend three state senators against defamation?

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson made known his feelings Thursday about the misinformation spread on social media about a Kansas man after a deadly shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade.

"Politicians have to be responsible and have to be held to a higher standard," Parson told reporters outside his office Thursday. "When you start attacking citizens in our state and you don't get a free pass just because you're a politician, you know, no different."

Bailey has said his office will defend three state senators who spread social media disinformation saying Denton Loudermilk was a suspect in the shooting. He wasn't.

One of those senators, Denny Hoskins, represents part of Mid-Missouri.
