Talking Points Memo Founder and Editor Accidentally Tweets Porn

Liberal Polk Award-winning journalist Joshua Marshall, who founded Talking Points Memo, was either hacked or accidentally tweeted lesbian porn on Friday evening.

Marshall’s account continued tweeting and left the x-rated tweet up as if nothing had happened — even retweeting a confused follower who stated that she watched it thinking that president-elect Donald Trump was going to make a cameo. He certainly deserves some points for trying extremely hard to play it cool — or set up an elaborate “I was hacked,” statement.

At time of publishing, the tweet had remained on his feed for over an hour, and had been retweeted nearly 400 times — as well as favorited by over 700 people.

I just watched this thinking Trump was going to do a weird walk on cameo. Huh.
