Russia’s state-funded news network, RT, is apparently
now sponsoring ads in a Moscow airport targeting Hillary Clinton and
the Democratic Party. Images of the signs, posted on Reddit over the
weekend, come as the mainstream media continues to push the notion
that Russia intervened in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald
Trump.
“Missed a plane? Lost an election? Blame it on us!”
says one of the ads, alluding to the fact that in terms of seats in
Washington, D.C., the Democrat Party was decimated in 2016.
“The longer you watch, the more upset Hillary Clinton
becomes,” says another ad. And a third, which reads “Come closer
and find out who we are planning to hack next,” clearly references
the notion that Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic
National Convention networks.
To date, no hard evidence has been put forth proving
that Russia colluded with Donald Trump and his team, and both Trump
and President Vladimir Putin have denied that any conspiracy exists.
The advertising, however, is very real, and it does
appear to be funded by the Russian government. The Independent
Journal Review reached out to RT for comment, and a spokesperson
confirmed that the ads are “absolutely” genuine and sponsored by
the network.
Recently, the “Russian collusion” theory spread to
Donald Trump’s son, Donald Jr. The accusation suggests he met with
a Russian lawyer in June of last year to try to obtain damaging
information on Hillary Clinton. While the meeting did take place, the
Trump administration contends it was standard political practice.
