Israel locked in back-and-forth, with still-unclear topic
Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) appeared to be steamed when he tweeted this message about one hour ago:
Not true. Sometimes I wonder where people get this stuff. Let’s debate facts, not soundbytes that lack even a shred of truth.
At the time, Israel’s tweeps were in the dark regarding the topic. Now, Israel has shed a bit of light on what caused his outburst.
He tweeted:
Last tweet was a reply to @yidwithlid.
Israel, however, did not retweet a specific post written by @yidwithlid. Israel’s sparring partner describes himself as a “Common Sense Zionist Jewish Libertarian” on his Twitter bio and has 1,299 followers.
Twitter Room believes Israel’s first message was a reaction to this tweet by @yidwithlid:
Tweet your Congressman and senators on Health Care. Ask If OBAMACARE is So Great, Why Did they EXEMPT THEMSELVES? http://tinyurl.com/mfsgy8
@yidwithlid links to a sarcastic post about allegations that Democrats exempted members of Congress from their healthcare proposal. Rep. Israel’s office did not respond to an inquiry about his original tweet and thus did not confirm that he responded to this specific tweet.
