@JosephAshbyShow Seems the new calculus is the establishment can't defeat the tea party without democrat voters. I guess GOP = DNC now

Dr. Milton Wolf, a Tea Party supported candidate who refers to himself as the “Arch Nemesis of ObamaCare” in his Twitter bio, is hoping to unseat incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Pat Roberts in Kansas’ August 5th primary.
A tweet that referred to Wolf as a “racist” and a “fool” was retweeted from Sen. Roberts’ Twitter account. Here’s what led up to it:
Career politician @PatRoberts2014 owes it to the people of Kansas to debate @miltonwolfmd. 47 years in Washington, DC is too much. #TeaParty

At which point, somebody with access to Sen. Roberts’ account gave the “racist and a fool” comment a retweet:
Why was this retweeted by a US Sen?! RT @garyldeaton @PatRoberts2014 @TeaPartyExpress @miltonwolfmd Why should he debate a racist and a fool

The retweet was posted to Sen. Roberts’ Twitter account and deleted after one minute, according to Politwoops:
A staffer for Sen. Roberts pointed out that the Senator didn’t personally retweet the race-baiting insults, and claimed that the retweet was merely the result of “fumble fingers”:
@JosephAshbyShow Senator Roberts did not retweet that.

@slittle77 I see it has been deleted, but it was retweeted by one of Sen Roberts' verified accounts.
— Joseph Ashby (@JosephAshbyShow) July 3, 2014
@slittle77 If the senator didn't retweet it, who was using his verified acct and did retweet it? http://t.co/IpMcskVTtw
— Joseph Ashby (@JosephAshbyShow) July 3, 2014
@JosephAshbyShow it was staff error while administering the account and it was deleted seconds later.

@slittle77 Someone accidentally hit retweet (a click has must be confirmed) and it just happened to be a race-baiting anti-Wolf tweet?
— Joseph Ashby (@JosephAshbyShow) July 3, 2014
Imagine the odds!
@JosephAshbyShow nope, just fumble fingers.

“Fumble fingers”?

Out of the millions and millions of tweets, somebody in Sen. Roberts’ office with “fumble fingers” just happened to accidentally retweet one containing a race-baiting insult about his opponent?
The lefty who wrote the tweet referring to Wolf as a “racist” thanked @PatRoberts2014 for spreading his opinion:
Leftist thanks @PatRoberts2014 for the retweet of race-baiting post. @miltonwolfmd @TeaPartyExpress pic.twitter.com/6rI79mXMgD
