Mitt Romney, 'Pierre Delecto' And The Strategy Of Anonymously Criticizing Trump
The Utah senator outed himself over the weekend as the owner of a mostly nondescript Twitter handle that defended Romney and was critical of President Trump.
The rap on Mitt Romney is that though he isn't a fan of President Trump, when he speaks out, it's in a fairly lukewarm way.
And then it was revealed over the weekend that he's been behind an anonymous Twitter account under the nom de plume Pierre Delecto.
"C'est moi," Romney confirmed, using the French for "it's me" to reporter McKay Coppins, who had just published. (Romney is a French speaker from his days as a Mormon missionary, which might explain the "Pierre" first name. No word on the Delecto surname.)
