| h/t Gates of Vienna Russia’s foreign ministry offered to help interfere in foreign elections in an April Fools’ Day joke published on official social media accounts Saturday. The ministry posted a proposed voicemail message for its answering machines at Russia embassies. "To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the message begins. "To use the services of Russian hackers, press 2. To request election interference, press 3 and wait until the next election campaign." An unnamed ministry duty officer confirmed that the post was a joke to the Associated Press. Any bets on a prominent senator (D or McCain) offering this "proof" on Senate floor? |
