The right-wings favorite Internet personality was just outed as a Russian troll

[Blue_Adept]

Jenna Abrams’ tweets were beloved, at times, by both the alt-right and the celebrity blogosphere. Now, Congressional investigators have confirmed that her Twitter account was actually run out of St. Petersburg, Russia’s infamous troll farm.

According to The Daily Beast, the “Abrams” account that initially became famous after “fixing” a nude selfie posted by Kim Kardashian was run, along with thousands of others, by the Kremlin-funded Internet Research Agency. The account, which was supposed to be run by an American blogger, soon pivoted to right-wing rhetoric, including a professed belief in segregation.

1. No surprise there

2. Give the trolls this: They know their audience

Not that their audience is the most perspicacious bunch on the planet, but the trolls sure know what's going to get them all riled up, and that they don't have to go to any trouble at all to bolster their bullshit with anything approaching a fact.

6. Thank you!

Every night, my husband, my teenage boys, and I take turns around the dinner table sharing something we've learned today. I have a fairly extensive vocabulary, so the boys are going to be astounded I learned a new word - perspicacious. Brilliant, thanks!

5. Can we hack the Russians' power grid? That would be a good start.

This IS a cyber war and we're within our rights if we retaliate.

8. Russia has mapped our infrastructure and power grid,

noting any vulnerabilities, so we might not win that battle.
