Russians Tried to Recruit Black Students to Bash Hillary Clinton
Williams and Kalvin weren't alone: In 2016 Russian agents approached Nigerian students in Moscow hoping theyd help convince American blacks Hillary Clinton was a racist b*tch.

ALABAR, NigeriaYou may recall those wannabe YouTube stars Williams and Kalvin Johnson, two black bloggers who went after Hillary Clinton with a vengeance last year, claiming to offer a word of truth to black audiences in the United States. They called her, among other things, an old racist bitch, and a witch, and sick in the head.
As for Donald Trump, the Johnsons proclaimed they would vote for him because any businessman cannot be a racist because when you are a racist, then your business is going down.
Where did these words of truth really come from?
As The Daily Beast revealed in October, they were part of the extensive Russian-backed campaign to discredit Clinton and if possible get Trump elected.
