Sen. Chuck Schumer
Of course, the bots aren’t just after Republicans, and one person subject to their ire is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. According to Cyabra, 17% of conversations on Twitter and 22% on Facebook were being generated from fake profiles. The company found six separate bot campaigns that targeted news articles and press releases featuring the top Democrat from New York.
Even more curious, close to a third of negative comments about Schumer were made by bots.
