“Just as Lincoln would have done”:

The Lincoln Project answered at least one of the Twitter account, responding with ”

And Zadronzny is looking to report further on the matter:
Hey if you run social for @ProjectLincoln, please get in touch on Signal. Contact is in bio. Happy to keep it off the record.
