Gareth Porter explains why the claim that the Russian government “hacked all 50 U.S. states” is false—namely, the states themselves know that their systems were intact! The narrative has nonetheless been pushed continuously, as democrats try to justify Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss by any means necessary.
Discussed on the show:
- “U.S. States: We Weren’t Hacked by Russians in 2016” (The American Conservative)
- “Russia Targeted Election Systems in All 50 States, Report Finds” (The New York Times)
