Sid Miller’s office tried to claim his Twitter account was hacked. But it wasn’t.
Texas Agriculture Commission Sid Miller quickly came under fire Tuesday for calling Hillary Clinton a “****” in a tweet.
Miller is a big-league supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Miller’s spokesman has called his boss “Donald Trump’s biggest cheerleaderand champion in the state of Texas.”
Miller quickly deleted the offending tweet on Tuesday, and his communications director tried to claim that his Twitter account had been hacked. A tweet was posted on his account reading: “@MillerForTexas HAS BEEN HACKED. The disgusting re-tweet has been removed and we have changed all account passwords. Be advised.”
Reporters were immediately skeptical of the “I was hacked” defense. Miller has a long history of tweeting controversial comments on Twitter. And people caught in a bind often say they were hacked as a rushed defense when they face criticism. (Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, for example, claimed he was hacked when photos leaked of a man in underwear. He wasn’t hacked, obviously.)
Shortly after the attempt at damage control, Miller admitted he wasn’t hacked.
