    Odd question, if it’s only been posted on x, who’s to say it wasn’t hacked?

    Edit: by now it’s been corroborated bunches of ways, I just wanted to stop and think. X is owned by a manbaby that isn’t beyond messing with the database for their own gain, and they did donate a bunch to the opposition.

    X is just a dumb.

      I can almost guarantee with it being the top story on all major news sites that they’ve received some confirmation. If not when majority of Democrats wanted him to drop out, if he insists he was hacked & is staying in… He’ll lose even more voters.

        With how hot the media has been for getting him to drop out, I’d even accept one of the articles to say out loud that they’ve confirmed the post.

        My dislike of x might be showing a bit.

      That’s a very good question, I’ve been searching high and low for sources, but the only source at this writing remain the post on the thing formerly known as twitter, which IMO is decidedly irresponsible, as that’s a notoriously unreliable source.
      It would be nice if at least some journalists wrote if they had the story confirmed.

      I don’t really get the down votes. They genuinely said it was an odd question and this election cycle is already fucking weird.
