The account that is responsible for spreading this story is from Brazil, but pretended to be a teacher from California. Hopefully this will end this shite. We have to stop buying into all of this shite. People outside of the US are using these stories to divide everyone...

quote:

New York (CNN Business)Twitter suspended an account on Monday afternoon that helped spread a controversial encounter between a Native American elder and a group of high school students wearing Make America Great Again hats. The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher. Its profile photo was not of a schoolteacher, but of a blogger based in Brazil, CNN Business found. Twitter suspended the account soon after CNN Business asked about it. On Tuesday, a source familiar with Twitter's investigation into the account said the company's initial findings suggest that the account was run from the United States. The source cautioned, however, that determining which country a Twitter account is actually run from can be very difficult. The account, with the username @2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California. "Teacher & Advocate. Fighting for 2020," its Twitter bio read. Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers.

There are two ways to weaken this country. Divide us and economically.

Your title doesn’t match the article. Somebody randomly found a picture of a Brazilian blogger and set it as a fake profile picture. The article even says the account was most likely run from the US.

Bella averages 68 post a day on this site over the past 6-7 months.

I guess that’s like a part time job
