The last legitimate tweet from Matt Walsh came a couple of hours ago:
I'll be speaking at the University of Iowa tomorrow night. I feel confident that I will be warmly welcomed with smiles and good cheer from all of the students on campus. https://t.co/mvOvaLlGEC

It’s since been hacked and is racking up a lot of likes. It looks like someone trying to promote their podcast on Spotify.
Here’s a sample:

I saw that. Can't they fix it?

Not easily. His number was taken. If the fraudster moved the number out of his carrier. That’s really bad. Else he’ll need a new SIM card to bring it back to his original phone/reactivate esim.

@TMobile employee got a hold of his sim card, guaranteed.

Looks like they stole his phone.

I don't know man, he clearly tweets that he hasn't been hacked…

Imagine hacking Matt Walsh and wasting your power on nonsense 😆

Walsh has 1.7 million followers.
Is that his phone in the picture? This might take a while to sort out.
