Supersonic 49,376 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 A divisive alt-right blogger with thousands of Twitter followers has been unmasked as a product of Russia’s infamous “troll farm”. Twitter troll Jenna Abrams, who had amassed more than 70,000 followers, was exposed following an investigation into Russian interference in last year’s presidential election by the US senate Intelligence Committee. The Daily Beast reports that Abrams, whose account was created in 2014, was the brainchild of the Russian government-funded Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg. Her viral tweets on topics from Kim Kardashian’s naked selfie to feminism were picked up by mainstream media outlets and helped grow her online following, but her messages quickly became more political in the run-up to the election. Before Donald Trump was elected in November last year, Ms Abrams created division and disunity with posts on contentious issues like the Confederate flag debate, segregation and Black Lives Matter. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/03/alt-right-twitter-blogger-jenna-abrams-unmasked-creation-russian/ Ever since the revelation, the account on Twitter got suspended. Her tweets have been featured on the New York Times, CNN, BBC and were a prominent part of Breitbart. One of her most prominent tweets read: "Calm down, I'm not pro-trump, I am pro common sense." after starting to go down the more extreme route of planting lies about Hillary Clinton, ridiculing Black Lives Matter and advocating for the re-establishment of racial segregation.
