Hold the presses everyone! Sylvester was right all along. The Russians meddle in our election. They spent $4,700 on Google Ads. Then again, Trump and Hillary spend close to $2 Billion on ads. But that $4,700 the Russians spent completely destroyed our Democracy! The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! Everyone let's get hysterical just like the libtards! The Russians spent $4,700 on ads! Our Democracy has been invalidated! ----------- Google CEO Exposes Shocking "Full Extent" Of Russian Meddling In 2016 Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that the “full extent” of so-called Russian meddling activity that took place on the platform during all of 2016 was $4,700 spent on some digital advertisements. "Does Google now know the full extent to which its online platforms were exploited by Russian actors in the election two years ago?" Rep. Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, asked the search engine's chief executive during Tuesday's hearing. ?"We have - we undertook a very thorough investigation, and, in 2016, we now know that there were two main ad accounts linked to Russia which advertised on Google for about $4,700 in advertising," Pichai responded. "A total of $4,700?" Nadler asked to confirm. "That's right," the Google executive replied. Google employees and executives contributed $1.6 million to 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
