And it goes deeper than just social media. Fox news is entertaining the idea and pushing it on their viewers while CNN, WaPo and others are also giving it airtime by saying it's a bad idea. Responsible media outlets would give her antics as little attention as possible. It's like they haven't learned their lesson from the Trump era where they gave him coverage 24/7 leading up to the election.

At best they're just using her for clicks to make money but at worst they're complicit. In Russia, Putin funds his supporters and his opposition to destabilize any threats to his rule and create a smokescreen. Funding both sides of any issue can cripple a country. It's likely the biggest reason that Russia was cut off from financial institutions and the Swift system and their accounts were frozen. Makes it a lot harder to fund these extremists even if it doesn't ultimately stop them.
