Welcome to southern California, the political Thunderdome in which I live…where Trump Derangement Syndrome crashes into green justice activism and Russian trolls.
While the nation’s attention has been laser-focused on American forces permanently stopping Iranian Terror General Qassem Soleimani from planning and executing more attacks on our interests and personnel, Congresswoman Maxine Waters was conducting herself with the dignity and circumspection we have come to expect from CA-43’s representative.
Water appears to have been tricked by Russian pranksters into thinking she was speaking on the phone with teen green activist Greta Thunberg. The trolls led the congresswoman to believe that the teenage climate activist had dirt on President Donald Trump.
Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who go by the names Vovan and Lexus on YouTube, released audio of a phone conversation allegedly between Waters and people she believed to be Thunberg and her father. The audio was accompanied by illustrations poking fun at the conversation.The conversation began with “Thunberg” telling Waters that she was calling from a climate strike meeting in North Carolina where they were advocating for the protection of the fictitious “Chon-Go-Chango” islands. She asked Waters to make remarks to the meeting attendees, where she showered “Thunberg” with praise.”Thunberg” then told Waters about a fictitious meeting she said she had with President Trump at the United Nations back in September.
The call to Waters included the Thunberg impersonator describing a climate strike in support of “Chon-go-Chango island.”
Halfway through the call, the impersonators detail a fictional exchange between President Donald Trump and Thunberg that they claim happened when both attended the U.N. climate summit in September. In it, they tell Waters that the president made Thunberg cry when he said, “You’ll never achieve your goals like those congressional fools who accuse me,” and “I’ll tell you the truth: I really wanted to push the Ukraine president to put my competitor on trial. And he will go to trial with you, with [a bunch of] Democrats. . . . I would have a separate cage for all of you.””Oh my god, he mentioned the Ukrainian president?” Waters is heard asking.The caller impersonating Thunberg’s father offers that they have an audio recording of Trump’s remarks to Greta that they can provide to the congresswoman.
Waters was concerned that Trump had bullied “Thunberg.”
The conversation then turned to Trump, whom the fake Thunberg accused of bullying her to the point of tears.”I’m terrified of what Trump’s doing. And I even can’t sleep or eat when I see him on TV. It was a really terrible meeting in the U.N. building in September with him, and I had nightmares aftewards,” the prankster said. “I saw him in the hallway, he was with security, I shouted at him, ‘Sign the Paris climate agreement!’ at him again. He came over, he leaned toward me and said softly, ‘Listen to me careful, little girl, you will never achieve your goal.'””He said you will never achieve your goal?” Waters exclaimed. “Did he make you cry?”
As a reminder, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was also a pranked by this pair into believing that they had “naked Trump” photos back in 2018.
