Tonight MSNBC did a special and when they were discussing how the Russians created violence in the US by making fake Twitter and Fakebook accounts. Fake people from bot farms in Russia tried to organize Black Lives Matter protests both for and against issues and encouraged violence and people to bring weapons. We have all known about this for a while.
Now the Russian bots are doing it again and this time they are trying to divide and conquer the US with the issue of vaccinations. I wonder what else they are working on.
