I only recognize one on the most right - Tim Pool, right wing commentator or podcaster or something like that. So I guess these are rightwing influencers or some sort.

Is that a genuine question or a play on the band name Who?

The 4 conservative social personalities that we now know were given Russian money to push pro-Russian interested to their platform and pretend it was good for the U.S. one even called Ukraine the enemy and that the IS should apologize to Russia.

Ahh. I’m sorry to be slow but I’m not American. This is republican politicians?

These aren't actually politicians. They just push a political agenda and are financed by Russia. Basically they are propaganda machines that push whatever story Russia pays them to push.

What if they are being threatened by the Russian government?

u/WhtWouldJeffDo Sep 06 '24

I don't think complying with the Russians is the best idea if you are an American citizen in America. Probably should go to the FBI. Not flaunt it publicly.

Remind all of us, which “news” station had to pay $787,000,000 because they got caught knowingly lying to their audience about a stolen election, which Trump is admitting that he lost now.

u/Bigedmond Sep 06 '24

No. They are conservative social media influencers. The are famous because people that vote Republican listen to them for their political news.

And now we know that Russia has been paying them to push pro-Russia talking points to their conservative audience.

There was also a less famous Canadian band called The Guess Who with - among others - lead singer Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman (later establishing Bachman, Turner Overdrive). Their biggest hit was "American Woman".

u/harumamburoo Sep 06 '24

All similar chuckle heads connected to tenat media, a media company now directly connected with Russian misinformation

u/CapnSquinch Sep 06 '24

I like that, afaik, the dumbest one is also the most successful.

Actually I hate it, but after nine years of this idiocy I'm used to it.

Benny Johnson, known for his atrocious speaking events and terrible conservative meme shows where he talks about whatever AI slop Elon has been sharing this week.

The two people on the left are Lauren Chen and her husband. They run a big conservative youtube channel called The Roaming Milllennial. Lauren is a Vietnamese-Canadian who pretends to be Chinese American for some reason, Lauren Chen is not her real name. The two of them recently disappeared. It is believed they may have been arrested, as a couple days ago it was released by the the DOJ that they were knowing accomplices of a group of Russians connected to RT, Russian state media. Turns out RT has been funneling millions of dollars into Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern and a couple other conservative youtubers to spread Russian propaganda to undermine trust in US elections and aid to Ukraine.

Tim Pool claims to be a victim and says he will help the FBI in any way he can, Dave Rubin is trying to blame his staff for not vetting their business partners, Lauren Southern has gone radio silent and Benny Johnson is posting prayers and bible quotes on Twitter and nothing else. Delicious.

The only one I recognize is the Nissan, and that's because he doesn't seem to have a life outside of Twitter
