GOP relies on Russian bots to falsely smear Democrats during shutdown fight

More and more, Republicans look to foreign operatives to push the party's domestic messaging.

Poll after poll shows Americans blame Republicans for shutting down the federal government. But if the GOP is looking for any consolation, they at least appear to have Russian bots on their side.

Russian-influenced Twitter accounts have gone all in trying to help Republicans and the White House promote the #SchumerShutdown hashtag in a desperate attempt to shift the blame for the shutdown to Democrats.

“SchumerShutdown ― the hashtag that GOP leaders and the White House are using to accuse Democrats of causing the shutdown ― on Sunday night became the top trending hashtag being promoted by Russian bots and trolls on Twitter, according to the Alliance for Securing Democracy,” HuffPost reports

ROTFLMAO!!! The amount of mental masturbation required to contrive this, must have been EPIC!

For those that don't know, "ShariaBlue" is David Brock's Soros/Steyr-financed Internet Troll/bot propo operation. Also known as "Podesta, Inc."

“Bot” is the 2018 version of “hack.” Ask any Democrat loser to explain what it means, and you’ll get a blank, slack-jawed stare.

Let them delude themselves. It will help them make future poor choices.

You’ve just got to love the irony of a Democrat Internet Troll/AI Bot operation, complaining about some mysterious “Russian” Internet Troll Operation....

Especially when the “Evidence” comes from another Soros-financed operation that no one has ever heard of, that just suddenly appeared.

Why it almost like a CNN Fake News Story!!

Shareblue is Rabid homosexual Marxist David Brock’s website...weaponized propaganda for the Democrat Party.

One takeaway from this is their astroturfers were outgunned by patriotic Americans that they refer to as Russian bots. It is reassuring news.

More proof that the meme that the Democrats are ‘intellectuals’ is a joke.
