A member of the Russian troll farm revealed on Russian TV how the Netflix drama was used to spread misinformation during the 2016 campaign. “At first we were forced to watch the House of Cards in English,” said one of “trolls,” named Maksim. “It was necessary to know all the main problems of the United States of America. Tax problems, the problem of gays, sexual minorities, weapons.”
