How the hell is nobody talking about this? A fucking Russian national defrauded our election. And yet, here we are, drowning in bullshit debates about “election integrity,” listening to the same tired fear-mongering about illegal immigrants voting, while an actual Russian national—yes, Russian—has been arrested for voter fraud in Florida.
