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.
An unwitting psy-op asset is the best kind of psy-op asset. What Putin famously called, useful idiots.

I’d love to see him sporting an orange beanie to match his jumpsuit.
Male pattern baldness.

This is IMPOSSIBLE because Republicans are KNOWN to do their Own Research!
Very underrated comment, that one got a snort out of me. lol
DARVO.
I believe they’re confusing the term victim with the word volunteer.
unindicted co-conspirators?
Kinda reminds me of an alien in The Last Starfighter.
Waterboard them for the truth.
Now that I would subscribe
They were victims of getting rich by knowingly spouting Russian talking points. Even if they weren’t sure the money was coming from Peter Thiel or Vladimir Putin, that’s what they were doing.
These clowns are victims of pro-Russian disinformation in the same way that David Berkowitz is a murder victim.
I’ll accept that they were victims if they henceforth renounce the stupid shit they’ve spouted for the last decade.
If I’m behaving in a certain way that makes me attractive to cartoonishly evil Putinesque cunts, I don’t care how benign the behaviour is, I’m not doing it anymore. If as a result of these revelations, Tim Pool et al. dial down their divisive nonsense, even if it’s only by 10%, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I’m not holding my breath, though.
I took the rubles and made the content! That makes me the victim!
Nobody being paid $400,000 per month is a victim. “Accomplice” is the word.
They weren’t victims of anything.
These were co-conspirators, and they won’t know true victimhood until the hands of the American people wrap around their throats.
