Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson addressed allegations that a company they were associated with had been paid to publish videos with messages in favour of Russia

A number of high-profile, conservative influencers in the US have said they are “victims” of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign, after the Biden administration accused Moscow of carrying out a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of November’s presidential elections.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson published statements on Wednesday evening addressing allegations that a US content creation company they were associated with had been provided with nearly $10m from Russian state media employees to publish videos with messages in favour of Moscow’s interests and agenda, including over the war in Ukraine.

    WHO CARES? All they were doing was Trying to Destroy America from the Inside by Attacking Literally EVERYTHING that Makes America Great and Safe like Democracy and National Security. It’s not like they were saying we shouldn’t be Bombing Palestinian Children. THAT would have been Real Shit!

      Yes, but they were doing it for a profit, unlike those godless liberal communists.
