CNN's report on Americans who were duped by Russian Bots

http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/20/media/internet-research-agency-unwitting-trump-supporters/index.html?sr=twCNN022018internet-research-agency-unwitting-trump-supporters0903PMStory

You have to see the uncensored video




One reason Goldfarb was skeptical about the claim of Russian involvement goes back to the Russians' tactics: They were not faking rallies or supporters, but trying to prompt real Americans who already backed a cause to turn out in support of it. Goldfarb attended the Fort Lauderdale "Florida Goes Trump" event. She told CNN that she knew all of the people there, "they were at my meetings. They're all Trump supporters."

"I don't go with Russians, c'mon, give me a break," she said.
