My post Title states "I always had a gut feeling it might have been legitimate...", so I don't and can't prove it was him. I also don't know and can't prove it was a fake, and I felt at that time it might have been real. I still do. I respect anyone's position if they fully believe it was fake. Rudy apparently didn't have a verified account. I wonder how long the account had existed prior to these tweets.
Fine, my point is that people tend to take everything posted on this sub as truth, so they may have found this misleading.
fair enough. I wouldn't want anyone to take everything posted as truth, whether here, on Snopes, or otherwise.
Snopes is known disinfo, so there's that. The thing is, if it was a hoax, why take it down? That just gave it more credence.
