That’s what I was thinking, as well. Nonetheless, I’m glad to hear Twitter closed the account. I personally don’t tweet and generally have no issues with social media, but I believe they all should be held responsible for bad actions and be commended when they do the right thing.

Considering that paid Kremlin trolls are no joke, and they are all over Twitter, good and double plus good for Twitter.

Is the person who operated the account vulnerable to criminal voter suppression charges?

I saw Samantha Bee’s interview with the masked Russian trolls. Has Twitter suspended any of those accounts? Or is it just fun and games till somebody’s country gets killed?

So did I. It was amazing. I thought it surely was going to be a bit but no, that was real.

One thing’s for sure here. Jon Stewart knows EXACTLY how to deal with a Twitter troll!

Twitter probably focused at first on the intellectual-property issues, then realized they might be accessories to a crime…

The real Ricky Vaughn is a coward. That’s what this is. It’s cowardice, pure and simple.

Looks like the same twitter user that initially posted the PA poll using the “c” word, copied by a TX GOP office holder: http://www.scoopnest.com/user/lmcgaughy/793556031334789120

Good thing they did this. Everybody knows everything you see on Twitter is true.

Which reminds me of how very much of this entire campaign has taken place on Twitter.

It’s very strange indeed.

There must be some kind of mistake. Conservatives are honest and true, and would never lie. Checkmate, libtardos!
