Internet Prankster Just Updated That Website Rudy Giuliani Accidentally Tweeted, and We Can't Wait for the Next Update

Yaas.

Remember that website Rudy Giuliani accidentally tweeted? It got an update.

Jason Velasquez, an Atlanta digital marketing director, decided to buy the domain G-20.In into which he wrote: “Donald J. Trump is a traitor to our country."


That was Friday.

On Tuesday night, Velasquez tweeted out an addition to his anti-President Donald Trump site.

"I’d hate for this tweet to distract from the Mueller memo that just dropped," he wrote. "So, I made a little update to the site. Nice try, Rudy —> "

The addition contains a hyperlink to a Reddit thread about ex-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, whose sentencing memo was released Tuesday night.

It reads: "BREAKING: Special counsel calls ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's cooperation 'substantial,' recommends no jail time."

The public learned Tuesday that Mueller requested no jail time for the now disgraced former lieutenant general’s role in the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia.

Velasquez's subsequent trolling was a hit.

The demand for more is real.

In an interview with WaPo, Velasquez said he did not expect his prank to go viral. By Wednesday morning, Giuliani’s tweet had been shared more than 17,000 times.

“I kind of chuckled a little bit that he created this accidental link,” Velasquez told The Washington Post. Velasquez “knew immediately that it was just a typo” but since Twitter creates a working link from any legitimate domain, Velasquez seized the opportunity to air a grievance.

“I wanted something . . . bold,” he said. “Certainly, something that [Giuliani] would not want to be linked from his tweet.”

Instead of deleting and correcting the tweet, however, Giuliani left it up.

Giuliani’s Twitter gaffe “speaks to the impulsive nature of the administration where they’re not thoughtful in anything they put out there, especially on Twitter,” Velasquez said. He added that even if Giuliani were to delete the tweet, he still wins.

“That would mean that I forced him to delete it,” he said. “It’s a hilarious Catch-22. Either I affect what his message is, or I affect what his message is.”

Velasquez told the New York Times he was shocked that the tweet had been left standing.

“He could have deleted it and everyone would have forgotten about it, my tweet would have stopped going viral,” he said. “Instead he tweeted about it and created a conspiracy theory against Twitter.”

The New York Times noted that Giuliani’s “period no space” complaint is irrelevant because “Helsinki.Either,” Giuliani’s other space-skip, is not a working domain.

Giuliani has not been the best sport about it.

“Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message,” complained Giuliani. “The same thing-period no space-occurred later and it didn’t happen. Don’t tell me they are not committed card-carrying anti-Trumpers. Time Magazine also may fit that description. FAIRNESS PLEASE.”

And this is who Trump put in charge of "the cyber."

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
