Michael Moore
Participated In Russia-Sponsored Anti-Trump Rally
By DEREK HUNTER
Progressive director Michael Moore participated in an anti-Trump
protest in New York that was organized by Russians, according to information
released Friday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein
announced indictments from Special Counsel Robert Mueller Friday against 13
Russian nationals for meddling in the 2016 election, highlighting how the
Russians used social media to stir up strife and anger on social media using
memes and unwitting Americans to do their bidding. One Russia-sponsored event
was a protest of then President-Elect Donald Trump on Nov. 12, 2016, called “Trump is NOT my President,” and it involved
Moore.
On
the day, Moore tweeted:
At
today's Trump Tower protest. He wouldn't come down. Here's my Facebook Live

On his Facebook page,
Moore embedded a long video of him “reporting” from the Putin-organized event,
calling Trump a “sociopath” and a “racist.”
Moore’s Facebook page is
littered with charges that Trump and Republicans are Russian tools and enemies
of the American people.
In advance of the Electoral College vote making Trump the 45th
president, Moore wrote a long post appealing to Republican electors to refuse
to support the president-elect because of “Russian hacking” of the election.
“I
know you HAVE to be full of worry and consternation over the way Russia hacked
into our election in order to help Trump,” Moore wrote.
