Thad Cochran Praises Bergdahl Via Twitter, Then Deletes Tweet
Breitbart ^

Posted on 06/04/2014 5:36:00 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) praised the return of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl on Twitter on May 31 but has deleted the Tweet since then.

“Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl,” Cochran tweeted from his official U.S. Senate Twitter account @SenThadCochran. “A grateful America thanks you for your service.”

The tweet was still publicly available as of Wednesday morning when Breitbart News took a screenshot of it. But sometime between then and now, Cochran has deleted the tweet.

President Barack Obama has faced intense criticism for the deal he cut to release Bergdahl. The White House released five Taliban fighters from Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center in exchange for Bergdahl’s release.

I'm just impressed Cochran heard of a current event.

This campaign is a joke. Cannot believe he’s going to now cost us more money.

Yep, you’re probably right. Cochran reminds me of some older businessmen I recall working with in the 1980s - lingering past retirement age and totally clueless about those “computer” things that someone put in their offices. More than one of them used to lapse into “dictaphone” mode when leaving messages on that newfangled voicemail, too. Funny and sad, all rolled together.

Levin just said a few minutes ago that he thinks Cochran “isn’t all there”.

I guess the RINOS would prop up a dead body to vote the way they want -of course, so would the rats. In fact they’ve got one as Senate leader.

Thad Cochran has no idea what Twitter is. What a joke.

Hahaha, there was an entire generation who simply stopped at the television remote control (once there were enough channels for that to matter). My father was one of them. The first time he wielded a computer mouse, he picked it up, pointed it at the screen, and started clicking, just like with the remote. He never did figure out how to make it move on the screen, or where to click. It was fascinating, and this was a smart man. He had simply completely checked out of technology a good 25 years before that.

Well, a good bit of what comes out of it resembles what comes out of a bird!

Sad really that they don’t retire and go home and rest, after the age of 70.

Mississippi, don’t follow in the tracks of Nevada and return another senile old man to the Senate. Even though Cochran is not vile like Reid, he doesn’t belong in the Senate any more.

One better - my Dad retired as a banker right when ATM machines began to become mainstream - to this day, he doesn't have a card and carries cash or cashes checks when he needs an influx.

And voicemail is still an "answering service"
