From what I could tell, the Wayback Machine didn't crawl her twitter feed until 16:57 today, so if she made that tweet shortly after midnight, as it appears she did, then she had plenty of time to delete it before the Wayback took a shot of her feed. I'm guessing that may have been what happened. Bummer.

I don't know of any other way to verify it except for a screenshot, which is what that appears to be in the other post. Those can be photoshopped, though. So, it all depends on whether or not you trust the source.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
