Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson addressed allegations that a company they were associated with had been paid to publish videos with messages in favour of Russia

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, Dave Rubin 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.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    “We didn’t know where the money came from?!?! Why would we ever ask why they wanted us to say Russia is super cool???”

    I’m positive most, it not all of these other right-wing media shitheads like Tucker Carlson, NewsMax hosts, Bannon…etc have all received dirty Russian money, and they know it.

    We need this all to be brought out in the open ASAP.
