Florida political group defends its ties with Russia after FBI alleges they teamed up with Kremlin a

A Florida socialist political group defended its relationship with Russia after the FBI alleged Kremlin agents teamed up with the organization in a "brazen" attempt to undermine US elections.

Federal agents on Friday raided St. Petersburg's Uhuru House — the headquarters of the socialist pan-African political organization — in connection with the alleged election interference conspiracy, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

"We can have relationships with whoever want to make this revolution possible," Uhuru Movement leader Eritha Cainion said at a news conference, the Times reported. "We are in support of Russia."

Prosecutors allege Moscow resident Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov worked for years with agents of the Kremlin's Federal Security Service (FSB) to use multiple US political groups as a way to spread pro-Russian propaganda, sow discord, and interfere in US elections, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Hey morons, Russia hasn't been Socialist in decades. They're probably more Fascist these days.

I wonder how many groups were being paid? The Atlanta group has ties to the Proudboys.

I haven't heard anything about them in a long time, though. No surprise here.
