CNN has supposedly discovered a massive Russian disinformation project to interfere with the U.S. election. They published yesterday their claim that popular U.S. speakers are taking Moscow-generated narratives and amplifying them to undermine the election. The Russian-based network, dubbed “Storm-1516,” is described as an offshoot of the 2016 Russian trolling operation and is targeting the Harris/Walz ticket.
They named Tara Reade as one of the operatives. Her lawyer received a letter from a CNN producer that asked for Reade’s response “to reports that you have repeated and amplified Russian disinformation about Ukraine and the US election.” However, instead of asking questions, Reade said that they posed “more of a series of accusations... The accusations are that I’m somehow involved, Donald Trump is involved, with interfering into the elections and presenting disinformation,” according to RT.
“It really shows desperation. They are clinging to the Hillary 2.0 argument that Russia interfered… I do not think that Moscow has any interest in interfering, nor need. The Democratic elites, the ones that are losing power right now, are getting a bit desperate.” She claimed that “the only people that are interfering with the election are coming from inside the election.”
