How Russia Is Trying to Boost Bernie Sanders’ Campaign

By NPR. . .Russia’s state-sponsored messaging about Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign was more neutral in the fall.

But over the past six weeks, this coverage has shifted to mirror pro-Sanders talking points first used in the last presidential campaign, said Clint Watts of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, who has been monitoring Russian interference continuously.

“What’s really come on strong just in the last 30 to 45 days are very similar narratives that we saw in 2016 about Sanders,” Watts told NPR.

While Sanders has acknowledged on the campaign trail that he was briefed by the intelligence community about Russia’s efforts to boost his campaign, he has been steadfastly opposed to that support, saying at a recent debate: “Hey, Mr. Putin, if I’m president of the United States, trust me, you’re not going to interfere in any more American elections.”

It isn’t clear precisely how much Russia is doing to help Sanders via the anonymity of cyberspace, but national security officials warned on Monday that social media agitation and disinformation have continued through this year’s presidential race.
