Twitter Hatin'

By Soyoung Kwak in Miscellaneous on Oct 9, 2010 4:00PM

Rep. Jan Schakowksy's political director, Alex Armour, has left the Twitter world. Recently under scrutiny because of something he tweeted back in August regarding the highly controversial Park51, he has shut down his Twitter account. What he wrote has stirred the opposing party, and Rep. Schakowsky has even said that she would not condone the kind of language that Armour used in his politically charged tweet. Stating that he thought his Twitter page was more private than it actually was, Armour has since deleted his Twitter account. Thankfully, there are screenshots to help figure out what exactly went down in the Twitterverse, in 140 characters or less.
