‘Only says things that will ingratiate him’: Donald Trump Jr. slams ‘Pierre Delecto’ Mitt Romney

Published October 21, 2019 2:28pm ET



Donald Trump Jr. accused Mitt Romney of not having “any guts” the day after the Utah senator admitted to using a fake Twitter account.

A reporter for Slate uncovered Romney’s secondary account, which is under the handle @qaws9876 and name Pierre Delecto, after he admitted to operating a separate account in a profile published by the Atlantic. Romney confirmed that he used the account.

“If Mitt Romney had any guts the would would take on media directly rather than with a fake twitter account, but he doesn’t,” Trump Jr. said on Twitter after Romney’s admission. “He only says things that will ingratiate him to the same MSM that destroyed him during his failed run. They’re using him and he doesn’t even get it. Sad!”

Romney’s alternative Twitter account has 702 followers, and the account has only tweeted 10 times. In all of those occasions, he was replying to other tweets and he defended himself in a majority of them. The account follows big names including John McCain, Larry Kudlow, and Rupert Murdoch, while also following accounts such as @NY4Mitt and @AltPresRomney.
