The State Department says it’s not sure who was behind a fake Twitter account that convinced a lot of people that Trump’s nominee was breaking away from the pack.
Whoever was behind a fake Twitter account purporting to be Secretary of State-designee Rex Tillerson found themselves on Sunday night with a bit of a problem.
The account — which had been tweeting as Tillerson from the handle @realRWTillerson — was suspended Sunday evening as a series of tweets that criticized the Trump administration's immigration executive action began to spread across Twitter.
