MSNBC: Judge Roy Moore Flooded with Fake Russian Twitter Followers

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Meanwhile, a new poll shows that the Republican candidate that Steve Bannon has backed in Alabama's U.S. Senate race is now tied with the Democrat there. The latest poll from Fox News has Republican Roy Moore and Democratic Doug Jones tied, both polling at 42 percent among Alabama’s registered voters. Also of notice, reporters picked up over the weekend that Roy Moore gained 20,000 Twitter followers just over the weekend."
SCARBOROUGH: "That’s impressive."
GEIST: "1,100 of those bearing Russian language names and descriptions. The Moore campaign denied knowledge and suggested that Jones campaign and Democrats were pulling a political stunt."
