CNN’s crack team of investigative journalists allegedly found “mentions of ‘kek kek,’ online slang predominantly used by alt-right trolls to represent laughter."

Wait wait...

The kek which they speak of originated in korea. Its how koreans laughed online. In the game chat when winning a game of Starcraft they would go "Kekekekekeke".

The kek which they are referencing is kek the frog dietity which represents internet chaos.

None of which are political.
