The X handle of the White House kicked up a storm over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man referred to as the ‘mistakenly deported Maryland man’ but whom the Trump administration prefers to call a member of the notorious MS-13 gang. Amid controversy over the Donald Trump administration’s unwillingness to bring him back from El Salvador, the White House X account Friday did the unimaginable.
It picked an NYT report of Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen meeting Garcia in El Salvador, outside the prison, and proof-checked it. “Senator meets with wrongly deported Maryland Man in El Salvador,” the NYT headline said.
The White House X handle ‘fixed’ it and made it to ‘Senator neets with Deported MS-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back’. “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back,” the White House handle said tagging the Maryland senator who waited outside the El Salvador prison to meet Garcia. Donald Trump mocked him and said he looked like a fool begging for attention for ‘fake news media’.
But the White House official handle’s meddling in the issue, and that too targeting NYT, came across as a low-blow to many who wondered whether it was White House adviser Stephen Miller behind those worlds.
“The official White House Twitter account is such an embarrassment. These folks get so much joy out of degrading the office itself. Zero semblance of decorum and statesmanship. A collection of unprofessional, gleeful ghouls,” one wrote.
“Nothing to see here – just the official White House Twitter account stating that it’s going to blatantly defy the Supreme Court while openly defaming a man,” another wrote.
“The White House Twitter account is just the absolute dregs of the sh*tposting world. I don’t see how what they share is ever appropriate from an official account,” one user commented.
“Who is the actual PERSON who’s in charge of the White House Twitter account, do all these jackals take a turn?
It seems like one VERY immature child who’s running it, but that could be anyone in the Trump administration,” one said.
“Who’s running the white house twitter page? Big Balls? Eric? It’s absolutely disgusting,” one wrote.
