Fb VP of Ads states Russian ads bought after election

Literally says in the preview that ‘majority’ was after the election. Also the point was not to deflect attention away from election interference, but to also be mindful of the fact that Russian influence didn’t stop when the election was over. There is something MORE they want rather than just sow discord into our elections.
Also explicitly say in the previous tweet swaying the election wasn't the main goal.
To be fair, I think it said the majority of ads were bought after. That doesn’t mean a good amount were bought before. Then again, I’m sure you could find a few ads bought by the Somali government if you searched deep enough.
Were the ads in Wisconsin? Were the Russians better campaign strategists than the conceited dumbsss Clinton had working for her? Blaming Russia for losing is pathetic and it's going to cost the dems 2020 as well.
Its completely pathetic. Aren't we talking about 6-7 figures in Russian ads vs 10 figures in Clinton campaign ads? And these are ads, ads being nothing but speech. American voters have the constitutional right to listen to the speech of others. If Hillary didn't win because her supporters were swayed by a rounding error worth of advertising, she has much bigger problems.
If organic reach was that effective, people wouldn’t buy anywhere as many ads.
