A tweet welcoming home Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and thanking him for his service from the account of Mississippi Republican Sen. Thad Cochran has been deleted.

Cochran is headed to a runoff election against Tea Party-backed challenger Chris McDaniel, and somebody obviously decided the tweet wasn’t in the best interest of his campaign to retain his Senate seat.

The tweet from Sen. Cochran’s account was deleted after having been up for three days:

Twitchy coverage of the Bergdahl story.
