[QUOTE="DriveInDriveOut, post: 2892621, member: 44954"] While I'm tempted to let this be, and see how long it takes the resident grandparents to figure out they're gullible and computer illiterate..... [URL='http://www.snopes.com/maxine-waters-london-attack-climate-healthcare/']FACT CHECK: Did Maxine Waters Blame the London Attack on Climate and Healthcare 'Inaction'?[/URL] The tweet was sent from @MaxineVVaters, a parody account that has no connection to the California Congresswoman. The account handle is cleverly designed to trick users into mistaking it for @MaxineWaters, her real account, which Twitter has verified with a blue checkmark. On 1 June 2017, the parody account gained traction for an amusing [URL='http://www.snopes.com/maxine-waters-climate-change-tide-receding-photo/']tweet[/URL] that suggested Representative Waters had mistaken the daily ebb and flow of the tides with climate change. Before you retweet or reply to an outrageous tweet from a well-known public figure, double-check the Twitter handle, and look for a blue checkmark to make sure the account is verified as authentic.
