John,
Kremlin-linked social media accounts are spreading misinformation to undermine the United States, destabilize Ukraine, and prop up Vladimir Putin.
The scariest part, John – it’s working. Until this weekend, far-right “useful idiots” like Marjorie Taylor Greene have been blocking aid to Ukraine since August, using Russian propaganda to justify their actions.
According to the Washington Post, documents from the Kremlin revealed efforts to enlist “public opinion leaders and politicians” on the far-right to spread their messaging.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been patient zero for these efforts.
On Steve Bannon’s podcast, she repeated false claims that Ukraine was waging a war on Christianity. And in front of the House Oversight Committee, she amplified bogus Putin claims that neo-Nazis were organizing in Ukraine.
After Moscow Marge speaks, clips like these get prominent play back home on Russian state television.
One Kremlin-backed journalist at the news organization RT recently gushed over her, calling MTG “a beauty” who is “normal” and unfairly maligned by an uneducated American public.
Like it or not, John, Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the biggest and most influential voices on the right. We can’t stop her from playing Putin’s patsy and spreading his dangerous lies to millions of Americans. But here’s what we can do:
