Chris Cantwell was from New Hampshire and then crossed multiple state lines before pepper spraying me in an assault he pleaded guilty to. Not Russian.

Or how about “Athena Marie,” from the Discord. Her actual name is Kendell York.

None of these people are Russian. They weren’t financed with Russian money. They were domestic racists who pooled their resources together, drove hours together across state lines, and partook in violence. Few people know better than me how these networks intersect.

To be clear here, I am referencing the tweet that

It really doesn’t matter if you lost every single person there and they aren’t Russian. That is not evidence that Russia had nothing to do with it.

The way that burden of proof works is the claim has to be backed with evidence, and there is no evidence that Russia had any influence on the organizing or violence, as suggested by the tweet. It is uncontested that they posted about it on social media, but no proof of causality.

And that tweet in particular seems to take things even further by claiming Russians "contributed" to the violence. Even Garrett didn't say that.

It’s just like the suggestion that vote totals were changed. Zero evidence, even though it’s well within the scope of possibility

Yes, exactly. I think people hear "there's no evidence that it happened" as "we *know* it didn't happen", which are obviously quite different statements with very different implications.

There is evidence, however, and EmilyG is asserting that it *didn’t happen*. She actually said this. I mean, read the first sentence.pic.twitter.com/OwXdszxF8D

Show me the evidence that points to a single act of violence being created proximally by a Russian bot account.

Show me evidence that a single death in the holocaust was created proximally by Nazi propaganda.
