Lawrence just reported on Kevin McCarthy saying Putin paid Trump! And Chris Hayes said it earlier.

That in the face of demonstrable criminality by Trump and his crew, there always seem to be those who seem intent on misleading people with tangential crap, like McCarthy’s comment.

We have a president who, just yesterday, openly invited foreign interference in the election. But, no, let’s focus on a speculative comment McCarthy made years ago.

If you think “trolls are people I disagree with” then you don’t understand how misinformation and misdirection works.

I’ve also noticed that people who hide behind pseudonyms make a lot of accusations against people who don’t.

Perhaps you also noticed, for example, that I was highly critical of Michael Avenatti, and took a lot of shit from people like you about it, questioning my motives. Where did all his promoters go?

I'll tell you what, Control-Z, how about you show me YOUR posts from 2014 warning about Russian-backed and funded influencers and trolls. Here's one of mine:

Go ahead, I'll wait for yours. Don't have any? Why not? Were you fawning over Assange with the rest of them, simply because he made noises you were inclined to agree with?

But, go ahead, show me your earliest post warning about Russian backed trolls.

Another thing you'll notice if you pay attention long enough is the same people promoting bags of smoke:
