She’s heeeeeeeeeeere!
At long last, Huma Abedin, aka Mrs. Anthony Weiner, has taken the Twitter plunge.
@anthonyweiner Hello. Question for you: Is this actually Huma Abedin's account, or a hoaxer? https://t.co/go0fMSSN98
— Vaughn Sterling (@vplus) September 21, 2015
Weiner responded to say it was really her … and then swiftly deleted his tweet:
@anthonyweiner Did you just delete your tweet response to me? Is it NOT really she? pic.twitter.com/xNBwczkCPa
— Vaughn Sterling (@vplus) September 21, 2015
It’s not clear why he deleted it, but for what it’s worth, Hillary Clinton’s traveling press secretary Nick Merrill officially welcomed Abedin to the party:
Welcome to Twitter, @HumaAbedin. pic.twitter.com/4M9Qnoxl36
— Nick Merrill (@NickMerrill) September 21, 2015
And then of course, there’s a hearty welcome from the queen herself:
Couldn't agree more, @HumaAbedin. Welcome to Twitter! https://t.co/T8hBwqschV

But we digress. So, how did Abedin made her grand entrance? Like this:
You can be a proud American, a proud Muslim, and proudly serve this great country. Pride versus prejudice.

Isn’t that nice? Too bad for Huma that she may already be in way over her head:

But let’s face it: Right now, Weiner is the least of her problems.

@HumaAbedin @maggieNYT How many simultaneous pay checks from how many agencies did it take to make you proudly help your boss hide emails?

@HumaAbedin And illegally be paid double to carry Hillary's water, too!

@HumaAbedin you can also avoid embezzlement charges if your boss is secretary of state

@HillaryClinton @HumaAbedin And you can be a proud American, proudly serve this country without lining your own pockets, working side jobs.

"@HillaryClinton: @HumaAbedin. Welcome to Twitter! Will you gals be able to tweet each other from your respective jail cells?
— Sir 'editorial standards' Mycroft (@sir_mycroft) September 21, 2015
Word of advice for Abedin, since she’s new at this whole Twitter thing:
Just remember that tweets last forever even after you delete them!
