They weren’t going to do any good anymore now that the race is over. They apparently didn’t do much good before the voting started, either. President Trump deleted Tweets leading up to election day for the runoff between Luther Strange and Roy Moore. They were fighting for the GOP nomination for Senator. Trump backed Strange. Moore won.
Twitter tracking site Polititwoops monitors accounts of public officials. When they delete Tweets, they’re archived on the site. The operation, run by ProPublica, claims to have been monitoring Trump’s Tweets since May 18, 2015, around the time he was announcing his candidacy for President. They logged three deleted Tweets that supported “Big Luther.”
Older Tweets supporting Strange go back over a month and were not deleted at this point.
The President is no stranger to the Twitter delete button. He often corrects mistakes in Tweets he sends; a Tweet congratulating Moore for his victory was deleted and replaced with one that accurately reflected the month of the general election. The three pro-Strange Tweets were most likely stricken to remove them from his official social media record.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
