Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Millers campaign deleted a lewd tweet on Tuesday that called Hillary Clinton a c***.
Miller, a statewide official running for reelection, had apparently used the insult while touting poll results that showed Donald Trump doing surprising well against Clinton in Pennsylvania.
Millers office told the San Antonio Express-News that the commissioners account had been hacked, and that everyone with access to his tweets was in the same room with Miller when the message went out.
Were trying to get to the bottom of it. We think weve been hacked, Mark Loeffler, Millers communications director, told the newspaper. No one from the Sid Miller organization would ever put anything like that on Twitter, Loeffler said.

(17 posts)Yes, he did, it seems.
Sen. Richard Burr privately mused over the weekend that gun owners may want to put a "bullseye" on Hillary Clinton, according to audio obtained by CNN.
The North Carolina Republican, locked in a tight race for reelection, quipped that as he walked into a gun shop "nothing made me feel better" than seeing a magazine about rifles "with a picture of Hillary Clinton on the front of it."
There was a time if any American politician said something like this, it would guarantee he or she never to be reelected of elected to political office again.
Seems ever since Newt Gingrich came to town and ever since so many white folks reacted to the black president the they did, this is now hardly even news.
