Russian bots now flocking to support Sean Hannity in response to boycott of his show. Things that make you go, "Hmm."

Courtesy of Newsweek: 

Fox News’s Sean Hannity is getting support from Russian-linked social media accounts after they began amplifying a protest by the American far right against Keurig coffee machines when the company pulled advertising from Hannity’s show. 

Keurig is among five companies that removed ads from Fox's Hannity over the weekend following his coverage of sexual misconduct allegations against Roy Moore, who is running for U.S. Senate in Alabama. 

On Twitter the hashtag #BoycottKeurig is now number one in overall hashtags promoted by 600 accounts connected to Russian influence efforts tracked by the German Marshall Fund. The hashtag #standwithannity and the variant #istandwithhannity, #boycottkeurig, and #keurig are among the top trending hashtags promoted by these accounts.

Wow, it's almost as if the Russians and the conservative media were somehow in cahoots.

Nah, that's just crazy talk.

Right?

    I don't think Keurig has to worry. What I find funny is Hannity has given Moore 24 hours to come clean after being his rah rah boy. Yep, hit him in the wallet where it hurts and watch him change his tune.

    Such a coincidence! Right? These willing idiots who jump in and retweet these Russian bots tweets don’t even understand or care that they are complicit in undermining the United States.
