MIKE ALLEN: There’s some question whether you follow President Trump. Your official account follows President Trump.
SEN. MITT ROMNEY: I have two official accounts — one is a Senate account and the other is the Mitt Romney account and those accounts are not ones I look at regularly. I do follow them, but I have an anonymous account, which is the one that I look at two or three times a day.
ALLEN: Oh, so you’re a lurker?
SEN. ROMNEY: Is that what they’re called? I’m embarrassed to be called a lurker. I’ve been called a lot of things, but being called a lurker is a new low.
The exchange between Romney and Allen comes after The Atlantic published an exposé on Sunday about the Utah senator in which he revealed he maintains a private Twitter account for the purpose of keeping up on the news.
“I won’t give you the name of it,” the lawmaker told the magazine, before adding that he follows 668 people.
Hours later, Slate’s Ashley Feinberg published an article declaring that she was all but certain that she had found the account. The Atlantic then reached out to Romney to asked whether the account — named “Pierre Delecto” — was, in fact, his.
He simply replied: “C’est moi,” which is French for “it’s me.”
Romney used the Twitter account to defend himself against detractors, including Fox News analyst Brit Hume and former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, who criticized the lawmaker for lacking a “moral compass.” The account has since been made private."
"Romney mentioned his use of the secret account in a profile published in the Atlantic on Sunday, referring to himself as a “lurker” for surreptitiously following the political conversation on social media.
After a Slate reporter identified Romney’s secret account under the name “Pierre Delecto,” Romney, who represents Utah, confirmed to the Atlantic that the account was his.
“C’est moi,” Romney said in confirmation over the phone, the Atlantic reported.
Representatives for Romney were not immediately available for comment.
You have to be impressed by a 72 y.o. Republican hiding under a false twitter account to support himself. A Twitter feed that he started during his run for the Presidency.
Does anyone take this man seriously?

I understand your thinking that Trump's presidency will be destroyed since you are convinced that the journalists you trust are telling you the truth, but how exactly is the Constitution going to be destroyed? I think the Democrats are attempting to dismantle it and rework it into their own socialist utopia, but how is Trump going to "destroy" it? Please be specific if you can because I'm fascinated by this premise.homeagain wrote:
