How Glorious – Russian Spending On Brexit Facebook Ads Was $1. Yes, A Buck

Now, yes, this is from Russia Today and no, I’ll not believe everything they say. But I think I will believe them here, in that this is what the Facebook CTO actually did say to Parliament:

That Russian troll factory, Facebook has managed to trace back to them an entire dollar of spending upon the Brexit referendum.

What is amusing is the politician who asked the question (no, me neither, haven’t a Scoobie who he is) insisting that given this result obviously it must all have been done another way. For, quite clearly, 52% of voters couldn’t disagree with his views on the EU now, could they?

  • Let them spend whatever they want. Didn't work for Jeb Bush and didn't work for Hillary. We can see through a scam, although our Justice Department cannot.
