Sen. Romney is, indeed, Pierre Delecto.
. The account was public and followed about the same number of accounts Romney had mentioned to The Atlantic. It followed all of the Romney family, a number of Romney-related 2012 campaign accounts and political reporters from the Romney 2012 beat, among others that seemed right for Romney to have an interest in following.
The account, which went under the username"Pierre Delecto," was public and showed only a handful of tweets, most in recent months. The tweets were often replies to prominent users criticizing the senator. In May, Romney responded to Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin, who wrote that Romney's strategy was"non-confrontation verging on spinelessness."
"Jennifer, you need to take a breath," Delecto replied."Maybe you can then acknowledge the people who agree with you in large measure even if not in every measure." Romney also liked a number of tweets that were strongly critical of Trump, including one supporting the use of the 25th Amendment in response to the president's recent decisions on Syria and Turkey. Romney also liked searing criticism of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.The Atlantic's McKay Coppins, who authored the profile of him, that he was in fact behind the"Pierre Delecto" account.
