(Fox) The New York Times published a report over the weekend claiming that the outrage over the controversial ties of the Women’s March organizers, which eventually dismantled the movement, was fabricated by Russian internet trolls who were deployed by the Kremlin in 2017 to enflame “racial and ethnic tensions.”
In the Sunday piece titled “How Russian Trolls Helped Keep the Women’s March Out of Lock Step,” reporter Ellen Berry claimed that the online uproar over event organizers, particularly Linda Sarsour’s close alliance with radical Nation of Islam leader and outspoken antisemite Louis Farrakhan, was mostly manufactured by online Russian trolls posing as “fictional Americans” whose job was to draft social media posts aimed at undermining the movement.
