Has anyone ever asked about Chinese and Iranian "bots"? They got nothing but victimhood.

"Many smart people have said it actually was not a thing"


Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) claimed that the national anthem protest of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was exacerbated by Russian social media bots in an interview Friday.
Harris, who has experienced a surge in polling since the Democratic debates, made the comments while on a talk radio show.
"You know people have said if you look at, for example, the whole, remember the whole, the heat that ended up around the bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick?" she asked.
"Many smart people have said it actually was not a thing, the Russian bots started taking that on," Harris claimed.
"Do you feel like you're being targeted by Russian bots right now?" asked a radio host.
"Well we already know that," she confidently replied.
Harris was referring to a report that said Russian online efforts to meddle in the 2016 election included messages and memes from social media bots related to the Kaepernick protest.
