CNN Tracks Down Trump Supporter, Badgers Her About Possible Russian Ties
Quote:Are you kidding me, CNN? With zero evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, the network decided to track down Trump supporters and pretty much ask them if they’re Russian agents. Or better yet publicly shame them for exposing them as being had by the Russians in light of the recent indictments handed down by the Department of Justice last week that shut down a troll farm.
“There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the [Russians'] conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election,” said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, so why was CNN’s Drew Griffin at the home of Florine Gruen Goldfarb, who reportedly was an unwitting accomplice in a scheme that some on the Left are likening to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks. Okay—let’s be clear on this; it wasn’t. The Russian interference campaign was not effective. It didn’t tilt the election per the DOJ and no American knowingly helped the Russians. So, what the hell is this? (via The Hill):
Goldfarb runs a Facebook page called “Team Trump Broward County.” According to CNN, the page shared multiple events that were planned by Russians during the 2016 election, as well as posting photos and videos from one of the events after it concluded.
Goldfarb denied any Russian influence, telling the network that the people who attended the events were simply supporters of then-candidate Trump.
“Those people who were with me were all Trump supporters,” she told CNN. “Very, very much so.”
When a CNN reporter told her the events were planned by Russians posing as Americans, Goldfarb responded “BS.”
“Please report that I don’t believe that. It’s bulls---,” she said. “I know all the people that were with me. They were at my meetings. They were all Trump supporters.”
“Did you guys realize that you were in communication electronically with Russians?” the reporter asked.
Ms. Goldfarb denies that she was duped into helping the Russians, despite CNN’s apparent public shaming with this clip. Maybe that wasn’t the intention of the segment, but given the facts here—there really is no reason for anyone to track down members of a pro-Trump Facebook group and try to see if they’re agents of the Kremlin. Were they really unwitting participants? That seems to be what the network is desperately trying to pry out of this poor woman. As some have already noted, these aren't public figures, they're not sleeper agents, they're not key players in some master intelligence operation. It's totally absurd.
If we’re being honest, CNN just should have said did you know you were duped into helping Russia sink Hillary’s presidential hopes in the election. How dare you! Also, do you know you’re pretty much a traitor? Some folks on social media noted how this puts the news media in an awful light. They just can’t let it go.

She is now being threatened by rabid alt-leftists. Absolutely deplorable. CNN is a terrorist organization.

IRONIC, since CNN covered favorably a Russian sponsored event.
