The idea that the DNC has a secret war room is funny all on its own, but add in the visual of them ‘alerting’ Beto’s campaign about a bunch of ‘Beto is a Furry memes’ and HOO-BOY, this is hilarious.
If you want to learn about the inside workings of a secret DNC war room that, among other things, recently alerted Beto’s campaign to a plot to “dogpile” a candidate thread with “Beto is a Furry” memes, then I have just the piece for you:https://t.co/k39eXrXnZh

From POLITICO:
Not everything deserves a response. When the DNC reached out and reported the furry dogpile to Beto’s campaign, the DNC staffer noted, “I haven’t flagged this activity to Twitter as I think the backlash to any action taken by them might be worse than the current activity.”
In addition to the dogpile, the DNC reported after the September debate “[a]t least three new right-wing narratives targeting candidates,” and that there was a “direct threat to one candidate, which Twitter removed in the early morning following the debate.”
The O’Rourke campaign recently faced a false story more concerning to them than the (mostly) harmless furry meme. Last month, a story spread online that the Odessa shooter, who killed seven people, had a Beto sticker on his car. “It’s the perfect kind of misinfo because it seems possible,” said Rob Flaherty, O’Rourke’s digital director. “It would undercut the whole narrative. If it were a reporter, we could just call them and they would issue a correction.”
Furry dogpile.
That is just so 2019.
This is the funniest thing ever https://t.co/uiYUXpvcbt

Hello @DNC you are correct to fear the minions, the backlash you would face confronting them would be far worse than retreating. You made the right decision.

Fear SMUG’s minions!
Lastly, it's not dogpiling, it's doing fact checking because Snopes and Journos are Democrat operatives.
Beto is a furry, and I'll make sure to let everyone know on debate night yet again. https://t.co/QwPylUrHOo pic.twitter.com/0qadjV24rM

The funniest thing is that a secret war room had to alert a campaign about a plot we had already executed.

Gotta love it.
Unless you’re getting dogpiled by a bunch of furry memes.
