Colorado GOP Lied About #NeverTrump Tweet – The Account Was Not Hacked
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Apr 11th, 2016 | Jim Hoft

The Republican party said this tweet saying the account was hacked.

But that is a lie.

The party deleted the tweet only three minutes after it was posted – meaning they still had control of the account. It was not hacked – it was a Republican party insider.

And Congratulations to you on getting 45% of the vote in Florida, but 100% of the delegates. I bet you loved the process then.

Thank you very much. I loved it very much. However, there is a difference.

The Florida GOP did not act as an extension of the Trump campaign, actively working to manipulate the outcome in his favor.

The Colorado GOP tweet is evidence that wasn't the case here.

“The Republican party said this tweet saying the account was hacked.”

That’s not true. That is an outright lie. They never said they were “hacked.”

Read it yourself:

Dyno — this article is a lie. And you say that Cruz is a liar? Nowhere in the tweet — https://twitter.com/cologop/status/718985521523871745 — did the Colorado GOP say their Twitter account was hacked.

And you are promoting this lie. Pathetic.

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

We knew they were taking a cue from Lyin Ted, on this.

It’s Trump’s fault!!!

Combine this with the optics on the Phyllis Schafly thing.

If Cruz somehow got the nomination, the Democrats would roast him slowly over an open flame all the way to his humiliating curbstomping in November.

Ahh, so when a majority of the delegates representing a majority of the voters didn’t go for Trump, they were forced to anyway. I know, you love the process when it favors your guy.

Of course it’s a lie. I pointed directly to the tweet from the Colorado GOP:

https://twitter.com/cologop/status/718985521523871745

They do not claim they were “hacked.”

Go to the original source, dynoman, not to all the spin you’ve found through Google.

I think Trump got played in Colorado.

I have no doubt he'll be turning lemons into lemonade.

So your grossly mistaken premise is that once a site, twitter account etc is hacked , you permanently lose control of that site?

I’ve seen that so-called comparison, but it seems to me like comparing apples and pineapples.

Again, your are missing the main point.

The GOP, responsible for a fair selection of delegates, colluded with one of the campaigns to screw another one.

That's a big deal.

I’ve been in the computer field for 25 years. I know my terms.

“Hacked” implies that someone has cracked into your account.

What the Colorado GOP tweet said is that someone simply accessed it without being authorized to do so:

https://twitter.com/cologop/status/718985521523871745

Significant difference. Maybe the GOP chairman’s 14 year old kid typed the Tweet on his dad’s computer when his dad went to the restroom. Or maybe an overeager intern or some newby on their PR team sent it. That could be “unauthorized access,” but not a “hack.”

Regardless, the Colorado GOP ****NEVER**** used the term “hacked” to characterize that stupid tweet.
