OANN Reporter Wrote for Kremlin-Owned Sputnik

Originally posted by Kyle Griffin on Twitter, The Daily Beast claims that OANN reporter Kristian Rouz is a Russian national who also writes for Kremlin-owned Sputnik.

The Tweet has since garnered over 24K retweets.

According to President Donald Trump himself, he watches the One America News Network (OANN). He encountered a lot of pushback when he peddled a OANN conspiracy theory in June 2020 suggesting that a 75 year old man who was pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo and had his head cracked open “could be an ANTIFA provocateur.” The OANN reporter referenced in the story appears to be Kristian Rouz.

Twitter users reacted to this news with many implying that Putin is outsmarting Trump and that Trump “continues to take the word of foreigners over the word of US security, expert advisors, and even media.”
