Senator Mitt Romney confirmed that he run a Twitter burner account under the alias Pierre Delecto.
On Sunday The Atlantic published a piece that confirmed Romney uses a separate account to follow political news, but wouldn't give away the handle.
“I won’t give you the name of it,” Mitt said to the outlet. "I’m following 668 people.”
It was uncovered by a reporter for Slate that the handle @qaws9876 and the name Pierre Delecto was being used by Sen. Romney.
Just spoke to @MittRomney on the phone, and asked him about Pierre Delecto. His only response: "C'est moi." Updated my story accordingly: https://t.co/kcfIopokWh

So what kind of stuff has Romney been doing with his burner account? He liked this tweet about Marco Rubio:
Mitt Romney (AKA Pierre Delecto) liked this tweet. (As did I.)
Since @MittRomney is the most prominent @GOP anti-Trumper, I'm starting to wonder . . . which foreign country was told it wouldn't get its foreign aid until it found out who Pierre Delecto was . . . https://t.co/W9pfm2WLwu

He also liked this story that was ripping on Newt Gingrich:
Mitt Romney and New Gingrich don't like each other. That is not news. Romney once called him a "failed leader" who "resigned in disgrace." #PierreDelecto also does not care for Newt Gingrich, as demonstrated by his like of this tweet. 3/ pic.twitter.com/B8oCtzjA9j

Romney also retweeted a tweet by Bill Kristol that was supporting the impeachment of President Trump:
Many people have been reminding Lindsey Graham that he used to be a bit more likely to find Presidential misbehavior to be impeachment-worthy in the past. Pierre Delecto also liked this tweet about the person who may or may not be his fellow Senator! 5/ pic.twitter.com/RS49CU3Bwp

This is a grown man, a senator at that, running a Twitter burner account. How pathetic is that? Even worse, he's using this account to root against President Trump.
