For a shocking moment, the Pentagon had people thinking that they wanted President Trump to resign. Without mentioning the content of the original tweet, a Pentagon spokesman, Col. Rob Manning, said it “would not be endorsed by the Department of Defense.”
The tweet was posted Thursday by a person whose Twitter name is @ProudResister. It said, “The solution is simple. Roy Moore: Step down from the race. Al Franken: Resign from congress. Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency. GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue. It’s a crime as is your hypocrisy.”
Manning says the person who had retweeted the tweet was an authorized operator of the official Defense Department Twitter account, which has around 5.2 million followers. Manning said the person “caught this error and immediately deleted it.”
However, as Washington Examiner editor Dave Brown noted, retweets do take a bit of effort. He tweeted “And it's an RT, not a heart. You have to click twice.” Accident or not, seeing the Pentagon go against the president and call for his resignation was quite a sight and people were most definitely amused.
