Hillary Clinton’s dishonest campaign apparently knows no bounds, as her method to pay people a combined $1 million to combat Bernie Sanders’ popularity online was revealed last week — but now it’s reached stunning new lows.

As Paste Magazine reported, we might have seen the first evidence of Hillary’s paid trolls just last night, as a number of popular Sanders support pages and groups on Facebook were taken down — for porn.

Correct the Record, a Super PAC not directly affiliated but working in tandem with Clinton’s campaign, hired the trolls as an ostensibly valid way to improve the candidate’s image online.

Just a thought, Hillary, but posting porn and then coordinating a report brigade to have the posts, pages, and groups temporarily censored isn’t exactly the way to win followers.

Theory has it that the paid porn trolls were out in full force last night because of the impending primaries in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island taking place today. Not only did the trolls go so far as to post porn, but some reports allege that it was even child porn.

Erica Libenow, a Sanders supporter and member of one of the pro-Bernie groups, said, “We had what looked like a kiddie porn posted in one of our groups today. I reported that one. Seriously made me want to vomit,” reports the Daily Kos.

“There is at least one culprit to be found in Facebook user Casey Champagne, who bragged about taking down the pages in the pro-Hillary Clinton group BROS 4 HILLARY – #GiveEmHill — though the pro-Clinton page has now also been taken down.”

Though they may have managed a stop-gap flow of pro-Sanders information, the damage to Hillary’s reputation — both by first needing to pay trolls to do so, and then employing, well, needlessly dirty tactics — might scar her campaign more deeply than if she’d left the potential voters alone.

In fact, with known groups and pages targeted comprising over 260,000 Facebook users, Clinton — despite the lack of decisive evidence the trolls were responsible — might face serious blowback for some time.

Facebook receives millions of complaints for posted content, but when repeated reports about a single post are received, the social media giant will remove it — and the same will occur for groups if multiple such posts are the subject of reports.

Furious Sanders supporters regrouped on the Reddit group, /r/SandersForPresident to discuss the mass censoring effort they theorized was a direct result of Hillary’s shills.

The pages and groups have reportedly since recovered, but Sanders supporters made note of the effort and handily worked around the porn patrol.

Hillary Clinton, for what it’s worth, continues making epic gaffes — which cumulatively show what must be utter desperation to cling to a shot to once again reside in the White House she loved so dearly.
