The social media accounts of two of Canada’s most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign.

All of the other “right wing influencers” in Tenet’s stable have issued statements claiming to have been duped by Chen and her husband.
That Southern has not issued a public statement or responded to a CBC request for comment does not imply complicity as CBC hopes.
