Democratic operatives used second bogus Facebook account against Roy Moore

Progressive Democrats used a second bogus Facebook page to wage a campaign of disinformation against former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in the run-up to 2018 midterm election, the New York Times reported Monday.

Weeks after revealing a Facebook page and Twitter campaign that sought to portray Moore’s campaign as supported by Russian bots, the Times reported that out-of-state donors funded an effort called “Project Birmingham,” which created a Facebook page that called for a statewide ban on alcohol.
