Earlier today, the Atlantics McKay Coppins published a lengthy profile on Mitt Romney, apparently part of Romneys effort to set himself up as the noble Republican foil to an out-of-control president. These sorts of pieces, which are more about narrative setting than anything else, typically dont contain a lot of new information, but this had one notable exception. About midway through, the usually guarded senator revealed that, just like fellow lone-voice-of reason-haver James Comey, he was the owner of a secret Twitter account.
At one point, as Coppins asked him about the #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY hashtag Trump tweeted into being earlier this month, Romney said this:
Thats kind of what he does, Romney said with a shrug, and then got up to retrieve an iPad from his desk. He explained that he uses a secret Twitter accountWhat do they call me, a lurker?to keep tabs on the political conversation. I wont give you the name of it, he said, but Im following 668 people. Swiping at his tablet, he recited some of the accounts he follows, including journalists, late-night comedians (Whats his name, the big redhead from Boston?), and athletes. Trump was not among them. He tweets so much, Romney said, comparing the president to one of his nieces who overshares on Instagram. I love her, but its like, Ah, its too much.

Later on Sunday, The Atlantic reached out to Romney to confirm. Asked about the account, Romney told the publication, “C’est moi” — French for “it’s me.”
What kind of quiche eating maggot replies in French?

It doesn’t effect my day one way or another knowing that Romney is on Twitter. Oh. Well.
I don’t Tweet, but many people do.
I don’t even have the urge to say “Ferme le Bouche!”(Close your mouth!).
