That fake tweet has been widely disseminated. I was suspicious because it vilified Rep. Wilson when she's a close friend of Johnson family.

Fact Check Politics

Did Myeshia Johnson Accuse Rep. Frederica Wilson of Using Her Husband 'As a Political Platform'?
An alleged Facebook post from the widow about a controversial condolence call was "published" at least an hour before President Donald Trump phoned her.

5. the two main reasons we are where we are

Facebook and Twitter. free reign for people to fuck around with no repercussions, manipulate the weak of mind, and disseminate false information.

6. As a Captioned Picture Says

in this twitter thread:

in a captioned pic of hair furor

Apparently rock bottom has a basement

The link still has the fake tweet as of the time of this post. It was retweeted by "Black Women 4 Trump" with hashtag @TallahForTrump. Any bets on the likelihood they are American?

7. I saw something about this last night

I cannot comprehend what kind of person would do something like this. And so far it doesn't look like the MSM have reported on it.

8. How easy is it to hack someone's account? Not only is it horrible, but it's

pretty effing scary. Hasn't this poor woman been through enough?

[gratuitous]

10. Hasn't she been through enough?

For some people, obviously not. The Venn diagram of those people and those complaining about football players taking a knee during the national anthem would probably be identical circles. This is how the Trump administration and its partisans show their support for the troops.

11. Who says anybody hacked any accounts?

Appears to be a fake post circulated as if coming from her, but I don't think it ever actually appeared on her facebook.

[SweetieD]

15. It doesn't mean she was hacked. You or I could set up a profile with her name and upload her

Picture on a facebook profile in 5 minutes, and post whatever. Facebook isn't regulating accounts or names.

13. I just read it's been making its way around FaceBook...,haven't seen it yet though n/t

14. This is why I hate Twitter. Its not a reliable communication medium,

but the media treats everything on there as gospel. It’s annoying.

16. How can people be so stupid, and especially what she has to endure here for years.

Dumb fucks......people are nuts.
