Anons, get in here
Shit storm is brewing for Pete Buttigieg's campaign. Quick run down: there's an account that claims to be from Nigeria that has grown popular and claims to be a big Pete supporter. Then today, Pete's communication advisor forgets to sign out of her own twitter account and posts from the "Nigerian" account. It was all a stunt from Pete's campaign to make it look like he's popular with black people.
To make matters worse, Pete's campaign then goes to Buzzfeed and has a reporter write up a story about it all being a crazy conspiracy theory. The reporter "verified" the identity by emailing the "Nigerian", who then promised he wasn't Pete's communications coordinator.
Here's one of her tweets where she's getting burned. You'll need to click around to find all pieces of the puzzle yourself, but the fallout is hilarious.
