Sprawling bot network praises Trump, attacks DeSantis and Haley
CBSN
Someone has created thousands of fake, automated Twitter accounts — perhaps hundreds of thousands of them — to offer a stream of praise for Donald Trump over the past 11 months, an Israeli tech firm has discovered.
Besides posting adoring words about the former president, the fake accounts ridiculed Trump's critics from both parties and attacked Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador who is challenging her onetime boss for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the bots aggressively suggested, couldn't beat Trump, but would be a great running mate.
