Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's account on his own platform appeared to have been hacked Friday afternoon as his page began posting a stream of racist and vile messages.

"We're aware that @jack was compromised and investigating what happened," an official Twitter corporate account tweeted.

A Twitter spokesman did not immediately respond when asked for comment.

Dorsey's account on Friday afternoon began posting racial slurs and other odd messages. He retweeted one user who wrote, "nazi germany did nothing wrong."

"Follow @taytaylov3r or Twitter hq is blowing up," read another of the tweets posted on Friday.

Dorsey has more than 4.2 million followers.

What better way to force Twitter to 'confront hate and racism' than targeting the CEO?

Liberals want absolute control of Twitter.

Could it be that Jack had a few drinks last night? And went on a Twitter rampage?

It happens.

“Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s account on his own platform appeared to have been hacked Friday afternoon as his page began posting a stream of racist and vile messages.”

Isn’t that what they always claim when they get drunk and post how they really feel?

Gee, that’s too bad.

Twitter needs to de-platform him for “hate speech”.

Maybe the real Jack just got to the liquor a bit early and had keyboard access.

Or maybe the Twit CEO of Twitter simply wants to make it seem easy to hack anyone’s account to make it harder for Twitter users to claim their accounts were blocked without a good reason. After all, Twitter will be able to produce Tweets like this for any user.

I just do not trust Jack Dempsey after watching his testimony before the House and his testimony before the Senate.

“I just do not trust Jack Dempsey”

Dempsey was a boxer. Dorsey is the name you’re looking for.

It would be funny to find out what weak sauce he was using for a password!
