Hillary Clinton already offered up 512 pages of excuses for her 2016 election loss in “What Happened,” and she’s added to those reasons in TV appearances and speeches around the world. But so far we haven’t heard her bring up a fake sex tape allegedly pushed by Russian trolls.
NBC News has the exclusive.
Exclusive: Russia’s troll farm pushed a fake Hillary Clinton sex tape on Reddit, Imgur, Pornhub, SpankBang. Over 250,000 people saw it. And it’s still up on the internet.https://t.co/PmXSaK1N2H

Annnnnd Pornhub appears to have just pulled it. Unless I just got fired, since I'm still at 30 Rock right now.

Just doin’ some research at work …
One of [Reddit user] Rubinjer’s posts on Reddit’s largest pro-Trump community, r/The_Donald, titled “This is How Hillary gets black votes,” links to an animated gif of the fake porn video that is still available on the platform. The same sex tape was posted five times to PornHub under the name “Leaked Hillary Clinton’s Hotel Sex Tape with Black Guy,” and also the porn site SpankBang.
The video was viewed more than 250,000 times on Pornhub.
A whistleblower from the Internet Research Agency, former employee Alan Baskaev, told Russia’s TV Rain last October that the troll farm had created a fake Hillary Clinton porn video. The video itself had not been credibly tied to a troll farm account until Reddit released usernames tied to the Russia-linked agency Tuesday.
Full disclosure: the existence of a “Hillary sex tape” is news to us. Is there a word that means “the opposite of click-bait”?

This probably swung the election. I’m sure Dianne Feinstein will have the Pornhub CEO on the hill soon to hash out this collusion. https://t.co/wS7V1NSuwl

I have questions about this:
1. Why are we just now hearing about this?
2. Who the hell would want to watch Hillary Clinton’s sex tape? https://t.co/HhmJTysXz3

I know it sounds like a big number, but 250,000 people is hardly anybody. https://t.co/h42DNstAAb

I'd like to meet these people who believe Hillary Clinton is both (a) dying and (b) so horny she's cheating on Bill. https://t.co/jPDCoQ6PeZ

If ever I couldn't believe someone would make a sex tape, it's Hil. Sorry, babe, but I remember that shot of you and Bill in bathing suits in the Caribbean and in that embrace. https://t.co/eAq4Ng8MDS

Welp, there it is. They found the smoking gun that surely swung the election.
And MAGA would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling MSM hacks! ??? https://t.co/iojEw81QSA

There you have it folks. The reason that Hillary lost. Because we were all tricked into believing there was a Hillary Clinton sex tape on the Internet. https://t.co/5WxugueB4K

Do you think anyone changed their vote because of this? I highly doubt it. https://t.co/ZyBbMMcEbS

This is what swung the election, it's what convinced me to not vote for Hillary. The Russians bamboozled me. https://t.co/8vpkHezZA2
