"Russian propaganda" is all over facebook? This has never been substantiated. We had 3 years of the mainstream media networks pushing the Russian-Collusion narrative and how Trump is going to be impeached for it. Then the narrative get's utterly dismantled. It's such a farce at this point that the DNC didn't even list Russian collusion in it's articles of impeachment against the President. Still, as this circus continues, very smart people still believe that Trump was elected because of Putin, and is in fact an agent of Russia. It's mind blowing.
