Chief Romney Strategist Creates Fake Twitter Account, Mocks "It Gets Better"

[MrScorpio]

Romney aide accused of assuming fake Twitter handle @CrazyKhazei

A strategist for 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican Sen. Scott Brown(Mass.) has admitted to authoring a fake Twitter account that makes light of the “It Gets Better Project” for gay youth and pokes fun at reporters covering Massachusetts politics.

Romney strategist Eric Fehrnstrom admitted on Wednesday evening to authoring the fake Twitter account @CrazyKhazei

“It was my Twitter acccount,” the aide said in an email to the Boston Globe. “Sometimes we take our politics too seriously and this was my way of lightening things up. As they say in politics, if you can’t stand the tweet, get out of the kitchen.”



The liberal blog Blue Mass Group early Wednesday morning posted a screenshot of a tweet from Romney and Brown strategist Fehrnstrom’s Twitter account that appeared to promote an endorsement for 2012 Brown opponent Alan Khazei’s (D) campaign as if speaking for Khazei’s campaign.

The blog pointed out that the tweet appeared similar to tweets from a fake Khazei Twitter account called @CrazyKhazei, which lampoons the Democratic Senate candidate. The tweet appears to have been deleted from Fehrnstrom’s account, as it no longer appears in his feed.
