Russia used Turning Point USA memes to wage 'a propaganda war'

The meme was the preferred method of misinformation for Russian agents trying to sway the 2016 presidential election, and they made use of an online arsenal on the social media pages of one of the country’s most influential conservative youth organizations.

According to a report prepared by researchers from New Knowledge and at the behest of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Russians regularly shared content created by Turning Point USA, the youth organization boasting hundreds of chapters across college campuses and headed by Charlie Kirk.
