Now the hackers have hacked a prominent Republican super PAC website promoting President Trump’s Cabinet nominees, according to a new report by CNN. The hackers vandalized several pages of the 45 Committee’s homepage, a group funded by GOP mega-donors Todd Ricketts and Sheldon Adelson. Several titles were altered on the website’s menu bar. For instance, one read, “MAKE AMERICAN S****Y AGAIN,” while another was changed to read “FAKE NEWS.”

However, the group was forced to briefly take down its website after the widespread defacement of the site after hackers re-labelled various videos.

More than $4 million has been spent by the 45 Committee until now on broadcast and online ads praising Trump’s Cabinet nominees, according to CNN. The only saving grace is that the hackers have managed to post some truth on the defaced website. America was shit under President Obama and the hackers want to make it shitty again.
