Now that he's been scrubbed from Breitbart's website, the anti-Semite running for House Majority Leader Paul Ryan's (R-WI) potentially-open seat in Congress has moved on to greener pastures — getting tricked by Mossad parody accounts on Twitter.
"Just want everyone to get a look at some of the tweets being sent to the Israeli Mossad @MossadIL by American citizens," Paul Nehlen tweeted Thursday night, complete with screenshots of people "asking the Mossad" to off him.
There's only one problem with Nehlen's assessment — @MOSSADil is quite clearly a parody account. In fact, it does not appear that Israel's Mossad intelligence service has a Twitter account at all.
A quick glance at @MOSSADil's account reveals its nature. For one, the account's bio lists it as being located in New York, NY. For another, the account's 26 tweets either reference right-wing conspiracy theories or are in communication with other parody accounts.
Even conservative writer and former Ted Cruz for President campaign staffer Josh Hammer made fun of Nehlen for being duped, joking that "the neo-Nazi is triggered by a parody account."
"As a matter of policy, Mossad only considers opening case files on congressional candidates who are able to break 20% in a party primary, so you should be ok," National Review podcaster Jamie Weinstein tweeted.
