I don't know if I would say he's lying. He said he suspects that he followed the account and it subsequently changed its handle, but he's trying to offer an explanation for a button he clicked on a fast-moving social media platform years ago. Surely people hit Follow on Twitter all the time on the basis of a funny post, without looking at the wider output of the account - perhaps without even looking at the handle. As I say, I think being thoughtless and sloppy is a credible (and charitable) interpretation. There are of course other credible interpretations that are less charitable which any person looking at this is more than entitled to adopt.denti alligator wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 3:02 pmSo his story to MichaelB is BS? He chose to follow this account and has to now lie about it?
Although, as Dansu Dansu Dansu said, it is questionable whether this account has ever actually made a joke on Twitter than isn't dripping with the vices you would expect. An advanced Twitter search can't really answer that.
Dansu Dansu Dansu, I think this will veer off topic if we go into this too far. I don't know enough about D’Souza to contest descriptions of his politics (although there's one glaring fact that would suggest to me that he's not a typical American ethnonationalist...) but I totally reject the suggestion that Nigel Farage is an ethnonationalist - he's talked up his preference for Commonwealth migration over white European migration over the years, he was very keen to promote members of ethnic minorities to prominent roles in UKIP when he was leader while maintaining a ban on former members of the BNP and National Front, and he recently quit the party following its takeover by an Islamophobic sect.
