I deleted a tweet and here’s why:

Posting publicly available FEC documents that are PUBLIC RECORDS and of public interest in a Presidential election year is not “doxxing”. Everyone knows that in order to be paid by a campaign you have to use an address, which is why most people use P.O. Boxes or business addresses.

Today I posted a tweet in which I highlighted how
@Riley_Gaines_
was paid to endorse
@RonDeSantis
for President. The information is Public because it’s on the FEC website available for everyone to see. It’s a legal document in an election year.

I reject all false accusations that I “doxxed” Riley. When I ran for Congress, my address was public too because the FEC site is Public information. I knew this going to a political season.

The intent of the post was not to reveal an already public address that was made public by
@RonDeSantis
’s Presidential campaign when they filed their FEC report, but rather my intent was to expose that
@RonDeSantis
and his campaign are paying for endorsements and they aren’t disclosing it to the American voters, which is ethically and morally repugnant.

If you want to be angry about the address, why not take it up with
@RonDeSantis
since he put the address on his official FEC document which is PUBLIC INFORMATION?

I’m doing my job as a journalist. I am not apologizing for doing my Job. But out of respect for
@Riley_Gaines_
privacy, I deleted the FEC record screenshot that had the address and have instead screenshot the original post and posted it below since I stand by what I reported.

Intent matters. I was not going out of my way to post an already public address. I posted a FINANCIAL DOCUMENT FROM A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN that is publicly available in a federal election database that anyone can look up.

However, I posted a new image with the address blacked out even thought it’s already public on the FEC site and has been for months since Riley decided to sell her voice to the
@RonDeSantis
campaign.

That is not doxxing.

The FEC database exists for the sake of transparency in US elections. I stand by my reporting and I stand by the fact that the people of America deserve to see who is getting paid to be a mouthpiece for a candidate.

I have done nothing wrong. I am just trying to report the truth.

I bet if Ron said he wants a balanced budget, every MAGA voter will suddenly campaign against balanced budgets.

But, this is a little different (the accusation at least).

Paying for an endorsement is pretty shitty.
