Roy Moore in Alabama race
Democratic operatives, backed by a liberal billionaire and facilitated by a
former Obama official, created thousands of fake Russian accounts to give an
impression the Russian government was supporting Alabama Republican Roy
Moore in last year’s election against now-Sen. Doug Jones.
The secret project, which had a budget of just $100,000 and was carried out
on Facebook and Twitter, was revealed after the New York Times obtained an
internal report detailing the efforts.
“We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the
idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian
botnet,” the internal report said. It also took credit for “radicalizing
Democrats with a Russian bot scandal” after experimenting “with many of
the tactics now understood to have influenced the 2016 elections.”
