This is unacceptable.

Jessi Melton is a Republican running for Congress in West Virginia. It is a shame how low they will go to smear a Democrat.

And the really unfortunate thing is that we can’t hold ourselves above using the same tactics. The only option is to make EVERY tweet subject to doubt.

Twitter and Facebook could have contributed so much to society, but Facebook in particular is becoming incredibly toxic. Fake tweets are just as bad.

I must admit that I have family members who are taken in by fake tweets from the left as well.
