      Yeah! I imagine there is a quite few Lemmies that would love to choke on a bag of dicks.

  Sadly I knew when the Daily Zeitgeist kept repeating the hilarious clip of him saying “My child nearly died in a drug fire after mass shootings” that the next time I saw his name he’d be getting rewarded by the fascists for his insane lies.

  Didn't he also take russian money via that canadian shell company to shit on Ukraine?

    Yes, basically.

    Benny is literally a known Russian asset.

    Yeah that whole thing a while back that uh, ended up with Tim Pool and Dave Rubin getting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, from the Kremlin, through a shell company run by other rightoids in the US/Canada?

    (Not sure if the actual front company was based in US or Can., but the rightoid couple that spearheaded it, one was a US Citizen, other Canadian, IIRC)

    Anyway yeah, Benny Johnson was getting payouts from that too.

    To be fair to the article, they do mention this, but a lot of people don’t actually read the article.

    As best as I can tell, the Kremlin didn’t even give him specific talking points, same with Tim Pool, Dave Ruben.

    They just threw money at them, to amplify their idiotic takes… which did not even need to be manicured.

    Its the chaos hyperreality strategy; throw money at whoever is saying the most insane shit that is just already horrendously disconnected from reality.

    The article goes over this a bit, but a lot of people don’t actually click the links.
