Now they spring one on Maxine Waters, admittedly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. But a very suitable mark.<\/p>\n<h3>Maxine Waters&#8217; phone call with &#8216;Greta Thunberg&#8217; was apparently the work of Russian pranksters<\/h3>\n<p><strong>By Joseph A. Wulfsohn<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., appeared to have been tricked by Russian pranksters into thinking she was speaking on the phone with Greta Thunberg and that the teenage climate activist had dirt on President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who go by the names Vovan and Lexus on YouTube, released audio of a phone conversation allegedly between Waters and people she believed to be Thunberg and her father. The audio was accompanied by illustrations poking fun at the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation began with &#8220;Thunberg&#8221; telling Waters that she was calling from a climate strike meeting in North Carolina where they were advocating for the protection of the fictitious &#8220;Chon-Go-Chango&#8221; islands. She asked Waters to make remarks to the meeting attendees, where she showered &#8220;Thunberg&#8221; with praise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thunberg&#8221; then told Waters about a fictitious meeting she said she had with President Trump at the United Nations back in September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b5DpdWE9oKc\" width=\"500\" height=\"591\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The entire article may be viewed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/maxine-waters-russian-pranksters-greta-thunberg-trump\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Chip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChipNASA sends us the story of two Russians who pranked House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff &hellip; <a title=\"Mad Max Pranked\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=94110\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mad Max Pranked<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218,407],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-feel-good-stories","category-humor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94112,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94110\/revisions\/94112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
