You defend Russia after reading things written by people who are getting paid by Russia.
Everybody election meddles. It is fair game.
Guess who the main offender is.

I think it's important to question where your info is coming from. These guys all pretended to be independent free thinking conservatives.

The central question is: do you think these people were duped into taking Russian cash in exchange for posting Russian propaganda, or did they know who was paying them?

They wouldn't have cared. We all know they were against Russia until Kremlin-backed Trump went down the escalator. They sold their souls to Trump, and therefore Putin. It's the same reason they are against arming the Ukrainians.

Woolsey served as CIA director under former President Clinton.

His comments follow a federal indictment released on Friday that accused 13 Russian individuals and three Russian groups of attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election.

The Russian embassy to the United Kingdom quoted Woolsey on Saturday, adding the comment: “Says it all.”

Everybody does it. Like calling you stupid on this forum. If I call you stupid you are likely to call me stupid. Right? Since the USA does it to Russia they do it to us when they can. Why shouldn't they? Do unto others as they do to you.

I doubt the allegations are true. Trump imposed more sanctions on Russia than any president. Trump was no friend to Russia.

I don't know enough about it to tell yet. Your article says they were duped, but they were RT employees. WTF do you expect from Russia Today? Anti Russian articles?
RT is pro Russian. Go figure. Duh!
That is like expecting CNN to be anti USA.

Do you want RT censored? Is that your goal is here?

Oh, they knew all right. Text messages specifically mentioning that the “Russians have paid” were included in the indictment.

What amazes me is how stupid these people are, leaving behind a trail of incriminating text messages.

No one knew they were Russian employees until this week. They are super MAGA influencers with millions of Twitter followers. Mott posts their videos here.

As long as our government is doing it to Russia you bet it is okay.
I can call you stupid but don't you dare call me stupid. Agreed?
Why do you love double standards so much with Russia?

Actually, thinking about the thread title, it’s too long.

It should just read: right wingers duped.

Says more than enough.

Kind of amazing how the news cycle quickly buried this story about all the conservative voices on social media getting paid by Russia to post content


I think the news organizations were duped by this too.
