An American social media influencer said he was paid $100 by a pro-Kremlin propagandist to post a fake video of Haitian immigrants claiming to vote in the US presidential election. The payment was one of several the man said he received from the propagandist- a registered Russian agent - to post on social media in the run-up to the election.
Yes, we know. Not thinking is common all over the spectrum because humans™ but it’s a pre-requisite to being anything right of center.
I hate reading this stuff because these fucking ass-wipes always seem so surprised after the consequences happen and even then someone usually needs to point it out to them. Like “how could I have known???” and it’s like “very easily! It was painfully obvious and everyone was telling you including credible experts!”
The headline makes it sound like the influencer took the money and posted the video.
Edit: that’s because he did. His was the account that posted the fake ‘Hatian’s voting illegally in Georgia’ video.
Well, isn’t that the fuckin problem?

Nah but they’re a “free thinker”, dawg.
“I need to do my own research”
$100 for an influencer. $10,000 for a congressman. It’s all peanuts for them. The ROI is insane.
Compare that to the $100,000 a week Tim Pool was getting.
