Do liberals even own mirrors?
Newsweek’s attempt to take a shot at President Trump’s following on Twitter backfired on the publication in a comical way.
Almost half of Trump’s Twitter followers appear to be fake https://t.co/lYhzYP1yy7 pic.twitter.com/qQhCwdvXTC

“Nearly half of Donald Trump’s Twitter followers are fake accounts and bots,” Newsweek’s headline read. Using Twitter Audit, the folks at Newsweek declared that only 51 percent of Trump’s 31 million followers are real people.
The only problem with using that measuring tool is that it can be used by others to prove the same point – about someone else’s Twitter following.
MMA fighter Nik Lentz did just that.

Ouch.
But the Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran was not done.

No word back from Newsweek on those numbers but Lentz definitely got Twitter users talking.

Somewhat misleading. @HillaryClinton and @BarackObama have comparable twitter fakes. Fake accounts follow famous accounts for legitimacy. https://t.co/a27vOTHdEZ

Media companies in glass houses…

What kills whatever movement your in is when you dismiss facts. Sir Lentz gave facts. Regardless of what side he’s on, you can’t insult him

Shows the bias of this article and the obvious exemption of similar figures with similar Twitter account followers.

@Newsweek You have more Fake Followers than Trump. Amazing how you Libs keep falling into your own traps.

What’s fake is this article….What’s real? Me and the tens of millions of true Americans who follow our Potus on Twitter.

First I was a “deplorable”, now I find out I’m “fake”…

How is it nobody at Newsweek was smart enough to check this before mocking someone else? They r obviously incompetent
— Dino (@dinok1975) June 3, 2017
They figure people won’t know how/or bother to check it out. Most people that see it will just assume Trump has more fakes

Of course you are UFC. Please try not to cause a “thoughts & prayers” incident when you are roided up and MAGA triggered.

Lol….. all I did was post follower counts. You’re the triggered one sunshine ?
