Hillary Clinton Mobbed by Twitter Trolls After Opening Her Direct Messages
The Wrap ^ | 7/31/2018 | Jon Levine

Hillary Clinton invited some less-than-friendly attention on Monday after she decided to open her Twitter direct messages to all users.

While the social media platform’s default settings only allow users who both follow each other to send messages, individual users can choose to open their inbox to receive messages from the general public. It’s a common move for journalists looking for news tips, but can be dicier for major public figures like Clinton.

The former secretary of state learned that on Monday evening and Tuesday as a number of trolls messaged her and said whatever was on their minds.

It’s unclear what prompted Clinton to open her direct messages. Request for comment on the situation by TheWrap to the former presidential candidate — via direct message was not responded to.

Had to look up “REKT”... (”wrecked”) but that Wisconsin reference says everything that she needs to hear. Too funny!

From now on I’m going to reply “Wisconsin” to any criticism I hear of Trump.
