Republican Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts has a so-called "sock puppet" Twitter account that has been impersonating and mocking his Democratic challenger, Alan Khazei, for nearly a month.

A "sock puppet" is an online persona used for deceptive purposes.

"I promise to devote all my time in office to making gay videos. Shame on Scott Brown for focusing on jobs!" said a July 31 tweet from the fake account, @crazykhazei.

"The major issue dividing me from Scott Brown is higher taxes. He’s against them, I’m for them," said a tweet from August 3.

"Apparently, there’s a fake twitter account out there called .@AlanKhazei. Please do not follow that imposter," said another from August 1.
