Imagine how gone someone has to be to see Russian agents/trolls when any news that paints a Democrat in a bad light breaks. As Twitchy readers know, Joe Biden is a new grandpa (congrats Joe!) and a lil ol’ newspaper in Arkansas broke the story. For whatever reason, Julia Ioffe put on some extra heavy duty tinfoil over a quotation mark and implied the deputy online editor for the paper must somehow be connected to Russia.
Don’t make that face, I didn’t make the accusation, I’m just mocking her for it.
Turns out that nope, Maggie McNeary is not a Russian troll … gosh, I feel shocked.
Yeah hi I am not a Russian troll, I just work at a paper in lil ole Arkansas
Sorry to disappoint @juliaioffe https://t.co/J06pd8X0ON

And then she took a crappy situation and made something good out of it.

Atta girl.
Julia can be a great journalist (Putin research, i.e.). Shame that Russian blinders affected that tweet.

Everybody’s a Russian asset, don’t feel so special.

Psh, Ron Perlman has accused me of being a Russian asset at least a dozen times.
Ssshhhh she doesn't think Arkansas or any other state not on the coast is real

Ya… Arkansas, Russia!

Same difference.
Totally.
I live in AR and we are all paid to be trolls and bots by Russia

Is the pay good? I'm considering becoming a bot myself.

The life of a bot ain’t easy.
Hmmmm…This is exactly what a Russian troll would say…?
