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

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.

Most/many public officials have their aides tweet for them. Take Hillary for example- she even said on her Twitter account thay actual tweets by her would be signed HC.

You can look at Trump’s too...sometimes they’re standard pr like ‘we enjoyed meeting with ABC to discuss 123’...

It’s not like a LOT pf people have access though.

Elaine Chao wouldn’t have been my choice, but she’s not stupid. I would be shocked to learn she wrote that.
