Russian Disinformation Campaign Reportedly Targets 2020 Democratics | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC

[ollieo.]

Not a shocker, Trump and Putin’s plan all along.

[arlingtonguy]

Read the comments. The bots are here. Learn to spot them and don’t engage in debate.

[catalinacurio]

We know this, they are in these comments sections every freaking day. Report them please. 💙

[Diane-xhvl]

Putin's buddy in the white house is making it all the more easier. If that's not helping Russia I don't know what is.

[crovax]

So we should expect to see more trolls and bots in the comments section...

[TheLinkeX]

Kind of says something when the people being targeted would all be candidates that would significantly change the future of the US for the better, letting us know who to vote for I guess?

[michaelc]

Psychological Warfare. Targeting the most vulnerable in America which is the older generation that don’t know how to use technology and would rather let someone else tell them what’s going on than them seek the information from multiple sources and develop their own opinion using today’s technology

[contraryMV]

Clear choice 2020: any Democratic nominee vs. Putin's puppet. You decide.

[sds]

Not surprised, Russia's at it again. At least we're catching it this time

[ruthdepew]

I do not know a single person who ever paid off their student loans in 10 years, and nearly everyone I know is still making payments at least 20 years later.

[constantineangelgutierrez]

here we go again, by now I hope people already know and remember what happen last time. so sick of it.

[moonmunster]

Get off of Facebook. I did. I'm still alive.

[elram]

Here we go for Round Two. May reason prevail this time around. May those responsible actors be held accountable: whether foreign but especially domestic. Make them pay.

[strikec]

Focus on the candidates' message on the 2020 election. Not on the Russian propaganda.

I kind of feel like Carl of Swingblade fame when he said the lawn mower wouldn’t work because it was out of gas. You will never stop false information from being spread so I say do what they are doing. Meme by meam flood the media with calling out lies. You must be truthful and EARN the reputation for being the place to turn to for facts! People who were raised by parents who taught them to live with integrity and honor WANT TRUTH. The memes that people share are the ones that 1. made them laugh, and 2. validate their views. That ensures that the sentiment goes viral. We need to do as good or BETTER than the attackers. Out flood their message with ours in the media. The pen IS mightier than the sword. Some people may think that Trump’s ringmaster approach is unprofessional, maybe so, but it is successful and MUST be countered. We need halarious TRUTHFUL memes that separate truth from fiction for EVERY attack meme on Trump ‘s side. PLEASE! There IS A MARKET FOR TRUTH somebody in media needs to fill this glaring gap instead of just complaining about how crooked they are. Capeesh? PS this is something people who want to help with the cause CAN DO whatever their schedules may be. COUNTER ATTACK WITH TRUTH! Liars do not have exclusive access to the internet so AWAKEN AND ACTIVATE ALL OF US WHO ARE FEELING HELPLESS! Start something big, y’all. I’ll bet you would get contributions galore. Alabama Liberal I am!

[pattirockgarden]

I keep praying Trump goes away somehow. Bad news every day!

[tingleblade]

I'm Russian and I'll be vote for Tulsi and Bernie! They are cool and want peace🧡🧡🧡

[monicajoy]

It seems that Velshi and Ruhle have a good chemistry. They work well together. The info they provide is good and on point. Thanks, MSNBC!

[kimhansen]

I know the biggest troll on Twitter...

[constantineangelgutierrez]

every candidate should say or have signs reminding what is happening. talk about it to remind people this is happening.
