Russian Effort to Influence 2016 Election Targeted African-Americans
"The Russian influence campaign on social media in the 2016 election made an extraordinary effort to target African-Americans, used an array of tactics to try to suppress turnout among Democratic voters and unleashed a blizzard of posts on Instagram that rivaled or exceeded its Facebook operations, according to a report produced for the Senate Intelligence Committee."
Here is the proof. In the 2012 Presidential Election, African Americans comprised 13% of the voters. In 2016, it plummeted to 12% as a result of Trump and the Russians.
