Transportation secretary's Twitter account deletes tweet telling Dem lawmaker to sue Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/22/17 | Caitlin Yilik

Posted on 03/22/2017 3:11:14 PM PDT by markomalley

The Twitter account of Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao briefly posted a peculiar tweet on Wednesday responding to Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, who has told President Trump to prepare for impeachment.

"SUE HIS VERY SOUL MAXINE!!!" Chao tweeted.

Chao's tweet was deleted after about 15 minutes.

"Get ready for impeachment," Waters tweeted Tuesday.

"The tweet was posted by an employee with access to the account. The employee took action outside of his scope of work and duties and without any approvals. We are taking appropriate action," a Department of Transportation spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

Oh cut the crap, don't make excuses for people who HATE the president and all he stands for and wants to do!

Whose side are you on?

Bad advice from people he thought he could trust. President Trump is brilliant, but he does not know the character of everyone and has to rely on analysis from those who have been in politics. (My opinion)

Those who have been in politics, for the most part, ARE the Swamp Things.

How do you sue someone’s soul? Really? You think she would post that seriously about the guy who just hired her? It may not be her posting it, but if you can’t see how it could be sarcastic, you are the one without common sense.

Trump needs to show her the door ASAP! Serious reservations of her being on the Trump cabinet re her being Mitch McConnell’s wife. The person on the Trump team that recommended this rag also needs to go.

Could this have been just high tailed sarcasm? Don’t know but I am not a fan of this woman, her turtle face husband, or the department. Abolish the dept and solve the problem.

She said "soul" instead of something like ARSE or worse.

Of course SHE posted it!

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NAIVE ?

Don't you know ANYTHING about her past history?

I know far more about her and her husband than YOU do and don't let anyone off the hook, for what they do. How is it "sarcasm" ? She was telling Crazy Maxine to sue him instead of trying to impeach him. After all, what with judge shopping, the lefties and RINOS can stop the president cold, from ever doing ANYTHING.

I think it was making fun of Waters. Could have tweeted “Go get his ass, Maxine. Knock yourself out!”

Don’t be ridiculous! Anyone who is on social media for any amount of time quickly realizes that sarcasm cannot be read on line. And that’s why we have little hints like “/s” after we write a sarcastic response. And if she was - which I doubt - being sarcastic, she should have her ass kicked to the curb anyway for being a total dummy!

Why would anyone think it was intended by Chou as sarcasm when later she claimed it was some minion with unauthorized access to her account?

Apparently 99.9% of FReepers believe that reading JUST the headlines sufficiently informs them to post commentary.

If any of the ignoramuses who commented here had BOTHERED to actually read the entire article, they would have seen this:

“The tweet was posted by an employee with access to the account. The employee took action outside of his scope of work and duties and without any approvals. We are taking appropriate action,” a Department of Transportation spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.”

In other words, simply more sabotage by obama’s deep state hold-overs.

Thanks...and WHY some others, on this thread, can’t see this, is beyond me.
