CNN Claims ‘Russian Bots’ Behind #WalkAway Campaign to ‘Wound Democrats in Midterms’

15

CNN, in some sort of desperate attempt to keep Democrats in the lead this November, is actually putting out a message that Russian ‘bots are to blame for the whole #WalkAway movement — the campaign that started on social media to get liberals to turn conservative.

Why would CNN claim this?

Story continues below advertisement

Because the left is losing it with voters. And young people are starting to realize the Democratic Party is not for them.

So the left-leaning media has to invent some sort of reason that explains away the whole #WalkAway movement — that reveals it to be a fake campaign.

Voila: Enter the Russians.

Only thing is … CNN’s reasoning is bonkers. Off the wall. Nuts. The left, once again, has gone unhinged.

From the Gateway Pundit:

The #WalkAway campaign began on Facebook after a handsome, gay hairdresser from New York posted a viral video in May explaining why he was walking away from the Democrat party.
The campaign spread to Twitter like wildfire.

People, Americans, are sick and tired of the hatred, divisiveness, fake news, and violence from the left.

The left overplayed their hand, calling every Trump supporter a racist and a Nazi.

Nancy Pelosi defended MS-13 killers, Maxine Waters called for Trump officials to be harmed and harassed and Senator Gillibrand called for ICE to be abolished.

Enough is enough.

Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are fiercely working to contain the #WalkAway movement by blocking hashtags and thousands of testimonies from people explaining why they left the Democrat party.

Fake News CNN is now running cover for the Democrat party and reported that the #WalkAway campaign isn’t real people, rather it’s just Russian bots that are pushing the hashtag in an effort to ‘wound the Democrat party in the 2018 midterms.’

CNN got pummeled by people for their absurd claim Russian bots are using #WalkAway to wound Dems in 2018.

CNN is reporting the #WalkAway campaign is fueled by Russian bots even though there are videos of real people giving their testimonies.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Perhaps the Democrats and CNN are looking at their internal polling knowing it’s going to be a bloodbath for the Dems so they’re already weaving their ‘Russians hacked the 2018 elections’ fake news rubbish.

appearently “people telling the truth” damages the democratic party.
“the Russians” hacked hillary’s server and disclosed embarrassing information. and that cost her the election. but did “the Russians” lie, or fabricate anything?? no, they disclosed how Hillary rigged the primaries….and that is what cost her the election, not “collusion” or anything “the Russians” did to directly aid trump.

‘Walk Away guy’ is recognized and refused service by lib,
proving the very point of his movement
July 8, 2018 | Vivek Saxena | Print Article

The anti-Trump bigotry of liberals literally continues to grow by the day.

Only a day after a Texas thug assaulted a teenager for wearing a MAGA inside a WhatABurger restaurant, a New York liberal store cashier refused service to a gay hairdresser because of his pro-Trump views.

The hairdresser was Brandon Straka, who recently became famous for starting the #WalkAway movement. He had been at an electronics store in downtown Manhattan last Thursday quickly selecting equipment he needed for his work when a customer had recognized him.

“I saw you on Tucker!” the customer said to him, referencing the activist’s recent appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “You’re that Walk Away guy!”

The customer then asked for a picture, so Straka graciously complied. Afterward the customer left and he returned to shopping. No big deal, right? Except that a cashier observed this whole encounter, and it just so happened that the cashier was a far-left radical.

In an interview with the Epoch Times, the #WalkAway founder said that when he approached the cashier to purchase a microphone, the cashier refused.

“He stared at me with this kind of dead-pan expression,” Straka explained. “And he said: Are you planning to use this equipment for alt-right purposes?’”

I’m shaking right now. I just went into a camera store to buy a camera and a light and mic, etc. and they recognized me from tv. I was refused service because they said it was for “alt right” purposes. That literally just happened.

As Straka tried to grasp what was happening, the left-wing cashier continuing talking, saying, “I’m not comfortable selling to you. You’re welcome to talk to someone else in the store but I’m not going to sell to you.”

Long story short, it took another 20 minutes of wandering through the store and speaking with other cashiers, but Straka finally got his microphone — just not from the far-left radical who had accused of him being affiliated with the “alt right.”

“I was shaking. I was hurt. I had this huge adrenaline rush. I felt embarrassed and I also felt nervous,” he said to the Times, describing how he felt when he finally made it out the store.

“At every station of the store, I’d given them my personal information. What if this kid decides to go into the computer and dox me? I am not a guy who has a lot of money. I can’t have people going to my apartment and harassing me.”

If you think he was being paranoid, you’re being naive. Leftists have a sordid history of doxing anyone they dislike.

Yet despite what happened to him, Straka has no interest in seeing the cashier be punished or fired, let alone harassed.

“My instinct is telling me to practice compassion and forgiveness here. I don’t want to see this guy getting fired. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. I don’t want people harassing him,” he said.

Americans know when they are dissatisfied . They don’t need some one to tell them. Democrats have been leaving for years. The leftist are in control and the I hate America people. Who are against every thing good and moral. The only way they can win is through vote fraud.

CNN is growing desperate, it seems. Russia or no Russia, the Democratic Party’s appeal is genuinely waning.

Some situations are universal. When I was coaching we played arrogant opponents who expected to naturally prevail in every contest. If they beat you, it is because they were supposed to. But if you beat them, there was some nefarious reason; you used ineligible players (Russian meddling) or the referees cheated (collusion), etc.

Do you always get everything you desire all the time? If you do, tell me how you do it. I have been trying all my life and have yet to win at every given turn.

Twitter has three ways to do determine if someone posting is a BOT. One of those ways is if someone does not put any personal information on their account. Now FB commenters are using that information to call others a BOT when a commenter disagrees with them. I don’t remember the other 2 Twitter identifiers.

Since my FB friends are only family and close friends, I do not post personal information, and I am definitely not a BOT.

Russian bots! They lost in 2016, couldn’t face the fact: blame the Russians. Hillary’s server was feeding emails to a ‘foreign entity’ : blame the Russians. Dem server hacked: blame the Russians. The last thing the Dems want is the American people to know is they ensured that the ‘foreign entity’ got the info; Russians had nothing to do with it..

Of course, many realize that Dems will say we’ve beaten the Russians at their game when Dems are elected to the presidency and they have control of Congress..

We’re not stupid.. We know their game…

A little research proves that the hack was an inside job. Hannity interview a nsa agent that stated Obama was right when he stated that Russia didn’t interfere in our elections. Then changed his story to fit the narrative. The agent stated that with the amount of evidence and the speed with with as needed to download, this was an inside job done on the east cost. Debbie Schultz “refused to allow” the FBI access to the so-called server. The fbi relied on the work of crowdstrike to verify that the Russian’s hacked the server. Sounds about right to allow evidence to be bleached.
