“Should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities & commentators were deceived,” Pool wrote.🙄

Johnson echoed the line, writing, “We are disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself & other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

#MAGA#Republicans are more than happy to excuse the #FarRight #influencers at the center of a #RussianPropaganda scheme.

#RightWing influencers like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, & Benny Johnson all worked w/ #TenetMedia, a #Tennessee-based firm that the #DOJ revealed Wed was secretly funded by #Russia#StateMedia employees in “a scheme to create & distribute content to #US audiences w/ hidden Russian govt messaging.”

The #indictment charges 2 #RussiaToday [#RT] employees w/providing nearly $10M to the #media company that often spouted #Kremlin talking points.

In response to the charges, the pundits & their allies are saying they just didn’t know any better. In fact, they’re the real victims.
