Pentagon ‘erroneously’ retweets call for Trump’s resignation. Tax reform measure passes the House. Hatch backs fix to criminal background system for guns.
Happy Friday. The Department of Defense retweeted and then quickly disavowed what it called a mistaken retweet from its official social media account of an activist’s call for President Donald Trump to step down. A Twitter user identified as @proudresister, in referring to recent allegations of sexual misconduct, tweeted: “The solution is simple… Roy Moore: Step down from the race. Al Franken: Resign from congress.” The tweet concluded with “Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency. GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue.
