Remember Tara Reade?

The one-time Biden accuser who became a Putin apologist...

She's live on 🇷🇺Russian State TV announcing that she's defected.

Sitting with Maria Butina whom she refers to as a friend.

Tara Reade just spent much of her 🇷🇺on camera time pushing right wing talking points about the 2024 US election.

Oh, and how wonderful things are in Russia.

Reade is just another American that has discovered the formula:

Go to 🇷🇺Russia & echo gov propaganda... and the government will make sure you get all the flattery you can eat.

By Reade's telling she was so blown away by 🇷🇺Russian cuisine & museums while in town for an interview... that the decision was spontaneous.

Butina echoes the narrative.

Hope America can survive the grifter brain drain to 🇷🇺Russia.

Tara [Reade] asked me to make it possible for her to come to Moscow..when she told her entire story...we Russians would never leave people to their devices... what she does here will make a major contribution to promoting unity between our two nations.
