      Meh. Circumventing an outrage mob is everyone’s prerogative.

      I respect it more when people (such as @JayCostTWS ) have a set policy of auto-deleting old Tweets. Not as much when they suddenly scramble to do so after being called out. And elected pols shouldn't bother as they're archived here anyway: https://projects.propublica.org/politwoops/  (1/2)

      That’s a fair critique.

      The worst is arguing with people who say "show me where I ever said anything like that" and you can't because they torched their old archives.

          Dan, if it's an elected official than you can check here: https://projects.propublica.org/politwoops/  And most of the time controversial Tweets are screen-shotted by SOMEONE, especially as there's a lag period bet. the deletion and when they stop showing up on timelines.

          Sure. But when someone like @JayCaruso gets hired up from RedState to the Dallas Morning News, and ppl who only care what he said 5 yrs ago want to get him in trouble, why shouldn’t he delete his old tweets?

          I understand the impulse. But I'm a historian. For me it's destroying source material. That'll never sit right.

          That being said I can think of more than one interview of politicians making such claims, then being proven liars when the host either posts a screenshot of a Tweet, or even footage of prior comments that show them to be liars...

          ... seems it should be Political Strategy 101, don't claim "I never said that" unless you're 100% sure you never did. "I don't recall saying that" offers slightly more wiggle room.
