Around the time Kamala Harris was taking over the reins of the Democratic presidential ticket, a mysterious group reportedly began a smear campaign against her, paying social media influencers tens of thousands of dollars to promote posts, according to reports.
In late July, a network of influencers who had been recruited to push conservative messages about Donald Trump or President Joe Biden throughout the summer, received an email requesting they make colorful sexual insults about Harris, according to Semafor.
In return, they would be paid tens of thousands of dollars via Zelle, a digital payments network.

they’re also know for randomly arresting people for political reasons.
maybe if their leader(s) hadn’t spent 20+ years attempting to subvert global democracy and sow seeds of radical, racist violence across the internet we’d feel a touch different…
