Summary

Democrats CAUGHT In Russian Bot "False Flag" Smear Campaign in the Alabama special election. A group called new Knowledge is claiming that the admitted false flag against Republicans was just a small experiment.

They were responsible for a mas amount of presumably Russian bots following the Roy Moore campaign on Twitter to trick people into thinking the Russians were propping him up.

National media fell for the ruse and the narrative went viral. Left wing writers mocked the Moore campaign for suggesting this was a democratic ploy to smear him. We now know it was.

They can claim it was an experiment but this reeks of democratic operatives serving engaging in a political con job and may have actually swung an election.

At the time, the Roy Moore campaign said this was likely a ploy from Democrats,

0:30.9

some kind of political stunt, and journalists kind of mocked the idea saying,

0:35.3

yet no way we know Russians do this. But in fact, the New York Times and even the Washington Post

0:41.1

are carrying this story. That Democratic tech operatives did in fact do this. Now,

0:45.9

they're certainly downplaying it, but Facebook has taken action removing them from Facebook

0:51.6

for engaging in deceptive practices, so it would seem that Facebook doesn't care if they want

0:56.2

a downplay or not. They did this. So today, let's take a look at the latest news to understand just

From the New York Times, secret experiment and Alabama Senate race imitated Russian tactics.

1:28.6

As Russia's online election machinations came to light last year, a group of Democratic tech experts
