Conservative Podcasters Respond To Russian Influence Allegations

Published Sep 05

Three prominent podcasters have insisted they had no knowledge a US network hosting their content allegedly received nearly $10 million from Russian state media employees seeking to influence the 2024 presidential election.

Tim Pool, Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin all strongly denied any wrongdoing and described themselves as "victims" of the purportedly Moscow-backed scheme.

According to a Department of Justice indictment, an unidentified Tennessee-based company received nearly $10 million from two employees of RT, a media network owned by the Russian state.

CNN said it had "independently confirmed" that the company was Tenet Media, a content creation platform that hosts shows for Pool, Johnson and Rubin.

The indictment claimed the scheme was created to "recruit unwitting American influencers" who would promote Kremlin sympathetic narratives ahead of November's presidential election.

In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Pool wrote: "Should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities and commentators were deceived and are victims. I cannot speak for anyone else at the company as to what they do or to what they are instructed."


He added: "That being said, we still do not know what is true as these are only allegations. Putin is a scumbag, Russia sucks donkey b****."

Johnson wrote: "A year ago, a media startup pitched my company to provide content as an independent contractor. Our lawyers negotiated a standard, arms length deal, which was later terminated. We are disturbed by the allegations in today's indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme. My lawyers will handle anyone who states or suggests otherwise."

Rubin commented: "These allegations clearly show that I and other commentators were the victims of this scheme. I knew absolutely nothing about any of this fraudulent activity. Period."


This is a breaking story. More to follow.

"recruit unwitting American influencers"

Unwitting? Yeah right.

The whole fucking world was wise to it, except the people directly involved and benefiting from it.

I can't wait until Joe Rogan finds out he's been unwitting all this time.

"Putin is a scumbag, Russia sucks donkey b****."

Translation: "Please don't put me in prison!"

This is exactly like the Jan 6th idiots when they were caught and suddenly everyone was sorry and had been duped by Trump.

And then as soon as the consequences were behind them they went back to claiming the election was stolen and their general shitbaggery.

It's election season, so the left is melting down on Russian election interference that may or not (but probably is) bullshit.

Seems about right.

I'm sure all the "witting" people involved won't be going to prison.

I'm sure Trump won't pardon them if he gets the chance to. Or maybe he gave them future pardons while he was president.

This is too funny.

POS Nick Fuentes having a meltdown because Trump admitted that he lost the 2020 election.

Don't worry Nick, Trump will just go back to claiming he won and that the election was stolen and that his words are being twisted and he never said any such thing.

"I was told if I got 63 million, which is what I got the first time, 'You would win. You can't not win.' And I got millions more votes than that and lost by a whisker," Trump added.

Uhm. No it’s real. Your country does it, Russia doea it, China and Islamic republic do it as well. All those from the river to the sea protests didn’t pop up organically. There is no war or conflict without propaganda and as with many other things technology has lowered the barrier for entry.

I don't question that all of these countries do it in some way or another. Nor that they do get some results out of it. You can get some shit done by throwing a couple million bucks at a situation.

What I do question is that whether Russian election interference is some sort of unprecedented campaign that is singlehandedly responsible for getting Trump elected and corrupting our otherwise perfect elections.

Yeah, they probably had a marginal amount of influence in swaying the votes of a couple thousand people. Whoop dee fucking doo.

tfw we're currently embroiled in a war supporting a government we got installed by supporting protests against a regime friendly with our rival

tfw Libya has open-air slave markets after we helped murder its leader

tfw we tried to do the same in Syria

There we agree, there is nothing unprecedented about it. IMO the aim of the propaganda a chaos and division.
