(110,187 posts)RT, the Russian propaganda network, is pushing a story about how Kamala Harris is being mean to So Cal, an energy corporation that was responsible for a gigantic methane leak that affected millions of people in LA. As the Attorney General, she has filed a lawsuit against So Cal, and she is asking that the judge freeze some of So Cal's assets while the case is in progress -- so that the company won't be able to say that it doesn't have enough assets to pay for the damage it did.
Russian's oligarchs own big pieces of energy companies around the world, and they don't want to be held responsible for damage that their companies might do -- whether it's oil leaks, methane leaks, or anything else.
And so RT is duping Americans into thinking that Harris is doing something wrong by suing So Cal and holding them responsible.
Here's an article about the environmental disaster in LA. I'm not going to look of the RT article that talks about the asset seizures because I won't post that here anyway.
