Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Those of us with access to professional organizations’ Twitter accounts live in fear that we’ll accidentally send a tweet meant for our own personal followers. I for one wouldn’t want the entirety of @MiamiNewTimes‘ followers to know that I had a dream that Diplo was dating my mother. Oh, wait, whoops.
Anyway, someone who controls the official @MiamiDadeCounty Twitter account accidentally endorsed Michelle Obama in the 2016 presidential race last night.
The Tweet was deleted, but not before a few Twitter users caught wind:
The county’s Twitter feed has been busy making apologies all morning and has sent the same basic message to users who caught the tweet.
The first lady talked a lot about jobs last night in her speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Let’s hope someone at Miami-Dade County Hall isn’t out of one after this Twitter slip-up.
