Lawmaker won't 'give in to terrorists' after troll takes over his Twitter account
Indiana Rep. Ed Soliday shut down his Twitter account after he called an Indiana CEO and philanthropist "stupid" in a tweet last month.
Now, Soliday's old account is in the hands of a new owner who has vowed to troll the Valparaiso Republican until the lawmaker apologizes to businessman Don Brown.
"If Soliday wants his account back, he is welcome to have it," the new owner of @RepSoliday tweeted Monday. "All he needs to do is make a public, genuine apology to @DonBrownIndy."
