MAGA World's Reaction to Russian Election Interference Indictment;​

Conspiracy Theories and Attacks on Law Enforcement Agencie​

Every reaction but introspection about why the Kremlin would want to surreptitiously fund MAGA personalities

Right-wing media figures are responding to news that several prominent MAGA influencers were unwittingly working on behalf of Russia by spouting absurd conspiracy theories and attacking law enforcement officials who uncovered the apparent scheme.

The Department of Justice announced Wednesday a multidepartment effort to target Russian-backed attempts to interfere with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, including criminal charges against two Russian nationals, sanctions against 10 other individuals and entities, and the seizure of 32 internet domains.

At Russian President Vladimir Putin’s direction, three Russian companies used fake profiles to promote false narratives on social media, US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. Internal documents produced by one of those Russian companies show one of the goals of the propaganda effort was to boost the candidacy of Donald Trump or whoever emerged as the Republican nominee for president, according to an FBI affidavit.
All right-wing media downplayed the DOJ's exposure of Russia’s efforts of election interference. Russia's actions underscore the need for more transparency and oversight for social media platforms. Corporate media is doing a horrible job as part of "freedom of the press". Conservative corporate figures and billionaires have built their own right-wing echo chamber promoting right wing conspiracies and disinformation. Hopefully we will do better with social media.
