"FaithVoters4Hillary" Verified Twitter Account Has Thousands of Fake Followers

A verified @Faith4Hillary Twitter account purporting to be the "Faith and Value Voters for Hillary Clinton 2016" appears to have purchased a large percentage of its 42.6k followers.

The website Twitter Audit determined that more than half of the account's followers were obtained by "inorganic, fraudulent, or dishonest means," and the similar website StatusPeople calculated that only 18 percent of the account's followers were "good."

Per StatusPeople, the rest of the followers were either fake accounts or accounts that are inactive.

Additionally, the account has a comparatively small amount of interaction via retweets and favorites compared to the amount of followers listed, which is indicative that the account is not being followed by real people.

A "fake" Twitter account is an account not run by an actual person or organization and is specifically created to boost a follower count. A variety of websites sell these accounts.

Other celebrities and politicians have faced accusations of artificially pumping up their social media presence. However, as @FaithVoters4Hillary isn't Hillary Clinton's personal account and considering Clinton hasn't officially announced she will even be running in 2016, it's a bit weird that steps are being taken to portray her as a candidate with a sizable "faith and values" fan base.

Hillary can be stopped if she is forced to come out as a lesbian.

Would this be the “fake” based followers? Loved when her unfaithfull husband would do a campaign stop and none of the feckless slobbering media would ever show the size of the crowd.

Is anybody really surprised by this?

Just about every Democrat politician on twitter has a $#!7-ton of fake followers.

Since most churches are FAKE now-—and their “values” are also FAKE-—it makes sense the people in them would back the most evil, corrupt bitch out there...

I miss the Reagan Bush Sr. days !!

The Democrat Strategy since 2004 has been to “close the God Gap”. In 2006 they did it by outing some gay Republicans. In 2008 they did it by declaring that Obama was a lifelong Christian who opposed same sex marriage.

Stalinsts lie. Always.

If they can fake votes then they can fake twitter accounts.

Don’t be shocked. Very soon - very soon, we will be seeing pictures of Hillary and Bill leaving Sunday church services with bibles in their hands.

How long before my prediction comes true?
