The RNC's Official Website Was Accidentally Linked To A Very NSFW Twitter Account For Months 😮

How did nobody notice this?

Twitter is having a laugh at the expense of the Maryland Republican party and the RNC right now. Apparently, the Maryland party used to use the Twitter handle "mdreps." When it abandoned the handle in favor of the newer "mdgop" nobody thought to inform the RNC. Cue the porn-related-hilarity.


The old Twitter handle was picked up by "Sexy Car Babes" and the account was filled with NSFW images and ads for live sex chats. While the Maryland site had all of the correct linking and information, anyone using the RNC website and trying to use their links to get to the Maryland GOP Twitter account was met with this.

We can't show you any lower, but you get the point.

The pinned tweet is an image for "Bonga Cams" and appears to show a woman pleasuring herself behind the screen of a laptop computer. We're guessing that's probably not what the RNC had in mind, considering it refers to itself as the "family values" party. Alas, it sat there unchanged for eight. whole. months.

Maryland Republican Party Executive Director Patrick O'Keefe told a media outlet, "We did not tell them.We updated it on our website and all our entities then, though. Not notifying the RNC back in February was just an oversight." They also said that Twitter had offered to "freeze" the account so nobody else could take over, but clearly that didn't happen.

Clearly.

Twitter cannot stop laughing about this.









The RNC appears to link to the correct Twitter accounts now, but the old account has been seeing a lot of ... um ... action.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
