Facebook removed hundreds of accounts on Thursday from a foreign troll farm posing as African-Americans in support of Donald Trump and QAnon supporters. It also removed hundreds of fake accounts linked to conservative media outlet The Epoch Times that pushed pro-Trump conspiracy theories about coronavirus and protests in the U.S.

Facebook took down the accounts as part of its enforcement against coordinated inauthentic behavior, which is the use of fake accounts to inflate the reach of content or products on social media.

The foreign pro-Trump troll farm was based in Romania and pushed content on Instagram under names like “BlackPeopleVoteForTrump” and on Facebook under “We Love Our President.”

 Imagine doing so much for "the blacks" and yet you still need to hire Facebook bots posing as black people, lol.

Or assist a mentally ill rapper in getting ballot access for his "presidential campaign", in order to divert black votes away from Biden.

Well, there goes at least 95% of Trump's black support.
