Facebook Vice President of Ads Rob Goldman shared Friday that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election was about dividing America, not getting President Donald Trump to the White House.
Goldman explained that despite Facebook sharing Russian ads with Congress, special counsel Robert Mueller, and the American people, some facts are still misunderstood.
As someone who saw all of the Russian ads, he tweeted that he can definitively say swaying the presidential election wasn’t the main goal.
While a common belief is that pro-Trump ads helped get the Republican candidate elected, Goldman shared a fact that’s been highly overlooked in the majority of articles.
