I'm sure most of the country couldn't care less of what they think no less be influenced by them.

7. Well, Megan is a US citizen.

As such she is fully eligible to vote and so on. She is also a celebrity thus can influence people, but why exactly shouldn't she do that? Other celebrities do it day in and day out.

9. Is Harry A KGB (sorry, whatever the 3 letter word is) agent?

Nope, he is anti-Putin and anti-Trump. I think he knows a shitload more than 98.5% of the people on this planet. Trump being paid by Russia? Makes you wonder. Not really. $420MM.

10. So he's basically saying he supports hate speech and misinformation.

Since he objects to them saying to "reject hate speech" and "misinformation”

Typical Republican response.

13. " it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity"

That was Harry's message. That's what Republicans see as "interfering in US elections". It's almost as if they want to be seen supporting hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.

Megan, still a US citizen, didn't mention parties or candidates either. She said it was vital to vote this year. It's almost as if they don't want people to vote.

15. Rejecting hate speech and misinformation equals campaigning against Trump

I agree because everyone knows that Trump is a lying hatemonger. If the shoe fits...
However, Harry and Meghan are private citizens and are entitled to voice their opinions. Vlad is the leader of a country and voices his preference regularly. The problem with Vlad however, is that he goes beyond just voicing his opinions to using his resources to actively influence the outcome of our election.
