Can anyone check that this KellyAnne Conway tweet is real?

[pnwmom]

I'm not distrusting Riverside, but I talked about it on FB and people have questioned whether it's real.

Supposedly KellyAnne made this tweet and then deleted it. I don't know how to prove it. Did she ever really make this tweet, or not?

1. I saw her do the winky thing on an interview before the election.

2. That is her Twitter handle

3. You'd have to search for the URL for her twitter feed in the Wayback Machine,

and then look at what it cached for that date (Dec. 17). If she tweeted it, even if she later deleted it, it should be in there.

Wayback Machine: https://archive.org/web/

I'd do it, but I don't have her twitter URL. Hope that helps!

4. So I looked under

https://twitter.com/KellyannePolls

And didn't see anything. But there was only one screenshot taken on the 17th. How would we know whether she had a deleted tweet?

5. I just tried it, too, and found the same thing.

From what I could tell, the Wayback Machine didn't crawl her twitter feed until 16:57 today, so if she made that tweet shortly after midnight, as it appears she did, then she had plenty of time to delete it before the Wayback took a shot of her feed. I'm guessing that may have been what happened. Bummer.

I don't know of any other way to verify it except for a screenshot, which is what that appears to be in the other post. Those can be photoshopped, though. So, it all depends on whether or not you trust the source.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

6. Are you seriously asking this question?

It is obviously not a real tweet.

[pnwmom]

7. Yes, I was. Can you explain what is obvious about that?

[oberliner]

8. Do you understand that anyone can post a screenshot of a fake tweet?

Don't you think that if she had actually sent such a tweet that one or two reputable people might have picked up on it?

Does that not strike you as clearly fake based on what you know about KellyAnne Conway?

[pnwmom]

10. From what I know of KellyAnne, I could imagine her posting it and deleting it. nt

12. What are you basing that on?

When you have ever heard or seen her use language like that?

[pnwmom]

15. She's attached herself to people who are perfectly comfortable using

language like that publicly, and worse. I could believe that in an angry moment she'd posted that, and then deleted it.

[oberliner]

17. She was the one responsible for taking away DT's twitter access temporarily

She has no history of tweeting things like that in angry moments and deleting them. She is known for doing exactly the opposite.

[pnwmom]

18. There's always a first time. Her remark about the women with cat pictures

was vicious enough. This was just a step beyond that.

9. It's fake

Look at at how it has the star icon and says "favorite"

If it was real it would have a heart symbol where that star is : https://twitter.com/KellyannePolls/status/809943457435357188

And they changed "favorite" to "like".

11. Thank you!

[oberliner]

13. How can anyone think this could have been a real tweet?

I guess this is the world we live in now.

14. It's a world in which a DRUMPF can occupy the space called POTUS

After 70 years of the words, acts, and behaviors he has racked up, and surrounded himself with the people he has. As for Kellyanne, I remember her from when she was FITZPATRICK and in tandem with Barbara OLSEN (yes, who died on 9-11) was a vicious, vociferous, scurrilous SCOURGE of Dems. So I would have no trouble believing that mere *words* like in the subject tweet might be hers. What is so decent about her that would exempt her?!1

19. Sadly, even peeps on DU fall for fake news.

I once knew a very old man who told me to "not believe any of what you hear, and only half of what you see."

This was before the internet, but dayum, he was right.
