Might have been a foreign account that was designed to stoke conflict within US society to keep us divided. Think it was geographically located outside the US in like Brazil or something but claimed to be in the US.

They were using a photo of a Brazilian blogger (not glenn greenwald, I assume) - it could be foreign but it could also just be some america-based organization looking to influence politics.
