George Takei blames Russian bots for trying to ‘amplify’ sexual assault accusation
NY Daily News ^ | November 12, 2017 | Kate Feldman

George Takei had an out-of-this-world explanation for why so many people were talking about the sexual assault claim against him.

In a now-deleted tweet, the “Star Trek” actor blamed Russian bots for spreading the story after Scott Brunton, an ex-model and actor, accused Takei of groping him in his Los Angeles condo in 1981.

It's a serious subject, but you've got to admit this is a funny story. Even liberals would have to admit (privately) that this is a funny story. The Russians? Really, Mr. Takei?

As if:

Russian Defense Minister: What should our number one priority be, sir? Defending against NATO? Supporting Syria?

President Putin: George Takei! We must destroy George Takei!

It’ obviously Putin's highest priority to oppose the Prime Directive in attempts to subvert the Federation.

To do so, he must focus the awesome power of the modern KGB cyber warfare divisions to bring down Ensign Sulu, acting covertly as George Takei, and smear him as date rape drug homosexual rapist.

Makes perfect sense in the strange new world inhabited by modern Hollywood.

Yeah, a has been seventy-something actor ranks way up there on Vlad Putin’s to-do list, I’m sure.

Oh, hell. You just might be right. Brunton is probably a Russian agent. I’ll bet he was recruited by Ensign Chekov and was paid by Trump’s father.

Let me get this straight: Takei had inappropriate relations with Russian bots, because the bots seduced him? Was he excited because they were underage? Clearly he is a victim /mega s

Before posting, I did a keyword search for both Takei and Russia. Nothing about this story came up, so full speed ahead!

The only Star Trek episodes I watched are the ones that featured Counselor Troi.

The Ruskie bots intercepted your search and gave you a null string!

You might be on to something. And I was just about to blame Global Warming for the null string.

He could be right. Doesn’t change the facts though.

The problem with bots is quite real. Most of these twitter storms and internet attacks are simply bot attacks carried out by a small number of players. Many in the Intelligence sector. Many are hit firms for hire. Or just someone with a grudge.

I don’t doubt that. What I doubt - really doubt - is that the Russians would devote even a second of time to deliberately target George Takei.

We have it on good authority that Roy Moore was also attacked by these same Russian bots.
