Mueller report
Among the instances of fake, Russian-controlled social media activity highlighted in the release of the Mueller Report is an account which pretended to be a Tennessee Republican account. It labeled itself as a Republican Party Twitter account that attracted more than 150,000 followers, as part of the effort by the Kremlin to elect Donald Trump as president. The Mueller report details activities of the Russian-linked Internet IRA and members of the Trump campaign. The account first appeared in late 2015 bearing the seal for the state of Tennessee and Twitter took the account down in 2017. The Tennessee Republican Party had repeatedly tried to halt the account, and criticized Twitter for taking too long to finally remove it. The account frequently tweeted racist posts, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim messages.
