Read the comments from liberals on this tweet from July. They were all 100% certain there was proof that Russia had paid bounties on US troops to Taliban-linked fighters, because people like @Maddow told them so. Now the top US commander in Afghanistan says there's no evidence. https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1288445724997296128
I tweeted this weeks ago. You'd think now that there's information proving the Russian bounties story has always been baseless they'll stop treating like an established fact, but they won't. It's been forced into official doctrine by shear brute force. https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1289917590911950849?s=20

You are infuriatingly right. This completely bogus story has been woven into the tapestry of corporate liberal lore and cannot be extracted. They think they form their worldviews based on facts and evidence, but it's pure propaganda from top to bottom. https://twitter.com/andyinsdca/status/1305653706663235584?s=20
This once-respected Harvard law professor repeated the debunked claim just the other day that "offered bounties on American troops killed in Afghanistan". Go check his timeline right now to see if he's posted a correction in light of new evidence. https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1304081358554267650?s=20
MSNBC recently gave the fact-averse Reid her own show. Check her timeline to count how many posts she's made about the new information showing the Russian bounties story has been officially discredited by the US military. https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1304177825268801537?s=20
Why no, Caroline, it shouldn't. https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1304135960846794753?s=20
P.S. Maybe start following your own advice. https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1305538073745412097?s=20
Nine hours ago. This is a sitting US Senator. Again, check her timeline to see how many tweets she's made correcting the disinformation she actively circulated. https://twitter.com/SenDuckworth/status/1305521067356717063?s=20
She's been tweeting this disinformation out constantly. It's a pet issue of hers. https://twitter.com/SenDuckworth/status/1305222663846203393?s=20
How many corrections do you think this sitting US congressman has made to the false claim he's been selling that "Putin paid money to the Taliban to kill US troops"? How many tweets has he made about the latest report? I bet you can guess. https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1304113946958282753?s=20
Another sitting US Senator. This claim is just objectively false. https://twitter.com/SenBlumenthal/status/1304110027792420871?s=20
The debunked "Bountygate" narrative was the first example cited by Peter Strzok in a viral interview as evidence of Trump siding with Russia against US interests to show that the president is "compromised" by the Kremlin.

This Biden staffer just repeated the debunked Russian bounties claim AFTER it has been debunked. https://twitter.com/AndrewBatesNC/status/1305665426534301696?s=20
