On Monday, Utah Senator Mitt Romney admitted that he had a secret profile on Twitter that he used to lurk around the social media site. Using the alias “Pierre Delecto,” Romney defended himself and took shots at some of his colleagues, including a few Republican allies.
As Mediaite, reported, the Utah Republican referenced his “burner” account on Sunday while speaking with The Atlantic, saying that he used it to follow 688 people, including some journalists and comedians. He declined to name the account, but Slate’s Ashely Feinberg quickly went to work and nailed down an account that she suspected was his.
Romney admitted that it was his account, as The Inquisitr reported.
“C’est moi,” Romney told The Atlantic after Feinberg identified it.
The Congressman made the account private shortly after, but not before people were able to look through it to find some juicy tweets, likes, and re-tweets.
