Russia Recruited YouTubers to Bash ‘Racist B*tch’ Hillary Clinton Over Rap Beats

"None of Williams or Kalvin’s Facebook friends are from Atlanta, where the two claim they live on Facebook and in videos. On Facebook, both Williams and Kalvin claim their hometown is Owerri in Nigeria.

In 2015, Williams Johnson claimed he had just spent his “first Thanksgiving with my LIL BROTHER in America!” and attached a since deleted Tweet from Alex Jay, who is a rapper and Instagram model. Jay told The Daily Beast he had never heard of Williams.

Williams and Kalvin’s videos are not particularly rigorous about nuances of American culture and geography. Kalvin, for example, claims that Baton Rouge is in “L.A.” Another video calls LeBron James the best “basket” player of the year."

Why would they go to such lengths? It's obvious they wanted Trump to win and likely that there was collusion with the Trump campaign, and it is deeply alarming that the threat is dismissed and covered up by the administration now and leaving open the threat of repeated foreign interference in US elections.

I think it's instructive to see how outsiders with a distance from American culture and fights go about weakening this country. They very clearly grasp that fostering racial divisions on both sides is a good way to undermine America.

Nobody said that the rappers defeated the Clinton campaign, the article is just noting the lengths to which Russia appears to have used all sorts of tricks to hamper and weaken the Clinton campaign.

You're creating a strawman because you know that you can't actually argue the merits on whether or not Russia interfered in the US election.
