    Aaaand now they’re exposed, suddenly they’re “victims”

    In a statement on X, Pool said if the indictment was true, he was a “victim” and that he and other personalities were “deceived.”

    Johnson said in a statement that he is “disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

    Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right? “We got caught with our hands in the Russian money bag, but we’re the ones truly being harmed guys!”

      Probably because it’s worked so great for their leader Trump. It’s probably been around longer though. I bet conservative pundits in the 1950s sounded the exact same when whining about desegregation somehow hurting them.

    In a hype video, Pool said “I worked for several massive corporate news organizations, what did I learn, they lie. Their agenda matters more than the truth.”

    Pot. Kettle. Black. Liar.

    At not point will any of them question why Russia would choose to amplify them.
