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.
Are they really “victims” if they were willing and profiting? Seems like you’re just an accomplice at that point.
They’re only victims because they got caught. If they never got caught, they’d be happily taking Russian money everyday of the week.
I think it’s fair to call The Useful Idiot a victim.
Are you really a victim if you are willfully ignorant? Tim Pool loves to brag about how uneducated he is
Sounds like something an idiot would brag about.
Or completely stupid? If I spew idiocies what am I if not either paid to do it or literally an idiot?
I don’t think it’s an and/or situation with that one lol. They are definitely stupid.
