Spencer Brown, the managing editor of Twitchy sister-site Townhall, made an interesting discovery — it seems some anti-Trump troll on Twitter copied and pasted a tweet about those who refuse to wear masks and don’t take COVID seriously by the assignment editor of San Diego’s NBC affiliate. That, or he forgot to switch from his work account to his personal burner account.
It appears as though @LanceNBCSD, the assignment editor for the San Diego NBC affiliate, forgot to switch to his anti-Trump burner account… pic.twitter.com/XfAAQX31Ex

If he posted that, he deleted it.
The thing to do for deniability would've been delete the second post. He could then plausibly propose that the troll account copypasted his uncharacteristically salty reply by accident & then deleted.
But then he would have to own his words. pic.twitter.com/O89q3alhHh

The cover-up is always what gets 'em in the end. 🤣Sloppy.

So this one was meant to come from the Lost-in-Trumpland account.

It amazes me the “intellectuals” have the self control of 6 year olds. They claim to be so inclusive and understanding yet most anything they deem unacceptable makes them behave like children.

Crazy that Lance states “Opinions are my own” but needs a burner to truly state his opinions.

This is why you shouldn’t have a burner or anonymous Twitter account. You wouldn’t dare tweet what you couldn’t or wouldn’t stand by if you said it publicly. It’s self-moderation.

Haha how many journalists have secret accounts like this? I'd bet a lot of them do

Remember when @andersoncooper did this and there were zero repercussions?

Remember when Mitt Romney did it?
You can learn a lot about a person in the way they respond to those who haven’t received the vaccine.
Think of our worst times in human history and you’ll see the same kind of irrational fear combined with callous, gleeful hate in our supposedly modern, tolerant America.

Hahahahaha this is your “media” folks. Corporate sellouts with burner accounts. Bunch of losers! @LostInTrumpland

Our apologies to Lance if this isn’t a burner account of his … but it sure looks like it is.
