Russia Facebook Ads Promoted Rallies, Marches And Events Before the Election



According to Republican Senate Intel Chairman Richard Burr, a supposed pro-Texas secession Facebook group called “Heart of Texas” promoted a “Stop Islamization of Texas” rally at the same time and place that a group calling itself “United Muslims of America” promoted its own “Save Islamic Knowledge” event.” 

Both Facebook pages were Russia-linked, according to the committee.

And the Russian version of Facebook is still organizing white supremacist rallies in America, like the one in Tennessee last week.

A batch of ads released Wednesday by the Democrats on the House Intel Committee, which also hosted a hearing on Russia and social media, provide a fuller picture of the various event pages now being linked to the Russian accounts.
