The @ACSOSheriffs account RT'ed Richard Spencer. (The RT has been up for 10+ mins, given @Walldo's tweet time: https://twitter.com/walldo/status/897337341601120256 …)pic.twitter.com/lyyMFHzkNy
They said it was an accident in one reply, but still haven't un-RT'ed it.pic.twitter.com/u1fRVHATur
Well, someone on the West Coast is gonna have to deal with this. I gotta sleep. 
And, as @Kno and others pointed out, this is @ACSOSheriffs most recent follow:pic.twitter.com/7qFOH9OOrS
Which reeeeeally undermines the "accidental retweet" claim — or at least the idea that the person tweeting had not intended to RT it.
That would appear to increase the likelihood of this being the oldest social media fail: The "RT/follow from the wrong account."
Which, in this scenario, still would mean someone with access to their Twitter account likes RTing Richard Spencer and following racists.
Well, we've moved on to phase two: The RT is gone and a poorly worded tweet has replaced it.pic.twitter.com/czG5miWQ3G
I talked w the guy who RT'ed Spencer onto the @ACSOSheriffs account. He says it was an accident (& it sounds legit). https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/a-california-sheriffs-office-says-it-was-an-accident-they?utm_term=.gxkqW2K30j …pic.twitter.com/wSvcMFeKJG
TIL there actually IS a 1-click RT scenario: If you have a Periscope vid open in the Twitter app, the RT is 1 click.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/a-california-sheriffs-office-says-it-was-an-accident-they?utm_term=.pu4dZr1Xmz#.hsQ73PWy01 …
