Lauren Chen has been a conservative influencer for awhile. She's a pretty, young, half-Asian woman, who for awhile was measured and reasonable.




Her real name is Lauren Tam. She is married to another conservative named Liam Donovan. They own a company called Tenet Media, which puts out conservative content. In addition to Chen, Tenet has signed influencers Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson.

It is now alleged by the DOJ that Tenet received $8.7 million from Russia, and was asked to push certain preferred narratives.

It is fairly clear that Lauren Chen was very aware of what she was doing. It is not clear at this time if the other influencers associated with Tenet were aware, or if they were just doing what they were told by Chen.

It is notable that Chen seemed to have made an about-face recently regarding supporting Trump. Suddenly she is claiming that Trump isn't conservatrive enough (such as his recent comments on abortion), and she no longer supports him. There is some suspicion that Russia was asking Chen to bash Trump, so as to encourage right wingers to stay home and not vote for him, perhaps swinging the election to Harris.

In recent years, she has drifted away from her former conservative-libertarianism, and seemed to become much more extreme. This is now attributed to the Russian money funneled into Tenet.

It is NOT suspected that Trump or Harris was involved in any of this stuff.

Tim Pool and the others are presently denying knowledge that Russia was involved with Tenet.
