A number of high-profile, conservative influencers in the US have said they are “victims” of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign, after the Biden administration accused Moscow of carrying out a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of November’s presidential elections.
Tim Pool and Benny Johnson published statements on Wednesday evening addressing allegations that a US content creation company they were associated with had been provided with nearly $10m from Russian state media employees to publish videos with messages in favour of Moscow’s interests and agenda, including over the war in Ukraine.
“Victims of”? No.
“Beneficiaries of”? Yes.
When you do something and get paid for it? That’s called a job.
No, you see… They thought they were beneficiaries, but since trump is not doing so hot, they are not sure right now.
Honestly I think they are admitting to being idiots.
Their god-king told them that he loves the poorly educated back in 2016.

Better than prison. These people could be in big trouble… But they won’t be because of their political views. They will get slaps on the wrist and allowed back to continue their campaigns of stochastic terrorism.
The Russians are refusing to pay me so now I’m the victim!
And the ones that aren’t being paid for it are just pawns envious of the kings.
Honestly I am puzzled every time I see someone ragebaiting and/or having a very bad take without that wretched checkmark on X
