Dem Sen. Who Demanded Answers From Elon About 'Impersonation' Colluded With 'Impersonator' (MARKEY)

I wrote earlier about the dustup between Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Elon Musk but there are a few more points that I wanted to hit on.

Markey blamed Musk for a Washington Post reporter impersonating Markey with a fake account with a blue check mark.

Now, I wrote about some of the confusion created by the Twitter Blue subscription, by people getting blue checks by paying for the service. Yes, that created some questions and Musk suspended the service to work out the kinks and reports are that it will likely be coming back next week.

While Markey wanted to blame the impersonation on Musk, it was done by the reporter with the permission of Markey, as the reporter acknowledged, noting he first impersonated a comedian’s account and “Then I did my test again with the permission of a U.S. senator, Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.).”

Then Markey used it to blow a gasket and demand answers in a formal letter to Musk, even though he, Markey, had greenlit the effort.

Democrats are vile, disgusting individuals.

They have no morals, no ethics, no anything.

Who at the Washington Post committed identity theft? The WaPo should be suspended.

Markey is a walking argument for dueling to be legalized again. What a dishonorable POS.

The relevant question no one seems to be asking is if this impersonation would have also worked before Musk took over Twitter. My bet is yes - there wasn’t any more or less vetting going on before than there is now.

The follow on question is why Markey wasn’t concerned before, but is now.

These people are the dregs of humanity, which is why they always win.

And Satan is the father of lies and his mission is to kill, steal, and destroy.

Sounds very familiar, no?
