http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/01/texas_official_trump_supporter_describes_clinton_as_cunt.html?wpsrc=sh_all_tab_fb_topI'm not going to pretend like I knew who Sid Miller was 20 minutes ago.

Which is to say: He's a figure of some political relevance. He also just tweeted and deleted the following:
Texas ag commissioner Sid Miller just called Hillary Clinton the c word. #txlege pic.twitter.com/zkxsEo5FeI

Miller's spokesman's response:
"We're trying to get to the bottom of it. We think we've been hacked," said Mark Loeffler, communications director for the Texas Department of Agriculture, in an interview with mySA.com.
