Well, there goes another Democrat Party #FakeNews narrative.
Democrats and their #FakeNews media claimed Russia ads on Facebook flipped the election away from Hillary to Trump.
Today the House Intelligence Committee released several Facebook ads and posts linked to a Russian troll operation during and after the 2016 presidential election.
Half of them were pro-Hillary.
And then there’s this…
Facebook executive Colin Stretch told the US Senate Judiciary Committee that the total number of those illegitimate ads are a drop in the ocean — less than 0.004 percent of all content — or about 1 in 23,000 news feed items.
There goes that narrative.

-Russian Facebook ads comprised only .004% of total content.
-90% of the ads didn’t even target either candidate. pic.twitter.com/UlmBSW2TCC— Ryan Saavedra 🇺🇸 (@RealSaavedra) November 1, 2017
The Hill had more on the Facebook Executive’s testimony and Russia’s “meddling” in the 2016 election.
Spoil Alert: The Democrat talking points were ALL a BIG LIE.
Colin Stretch’s testimony to Congress included an investigation by the Internet Research Agency. The Internet Research agency found that Russia spent $100,000 to purchase 3,000 ads in the two years leading up to the 2016 election. Most of those ads were posted after the 2016 election.
The Russian ads were both anti-Hillary and anti-Trump.
Facebook also found 120 different pages created by the group linked to disseminate its ads and posts.
Via The Hill.
In one portion of the testimony, Stretch downplayed the volume of the posts, saying they only make up 0.004 percent of the content in Facebook’s newsfeed but qualified that “any amount is too much.”
Democrats claimed these ads proved that Russia swung the election.
It was a complete lie from the very start.
