As Twitchy reported Sunday, Sen. Mitt Romney himself admitted to being behind the “Pierre Delecto” Twitter account.

Sen. Mitt Romney says he has been secretly using a Twitter account apparently intended to monitor political discussions on social media and to defend himself. https://t.co/YdTHhFMkA2 — CNN (@CNN) October 21, 2019

And because he’s also pretty much confirmed as pro-impeachment, he’s been getting a lot of attention from the media otherwise. He’s now the go-to Republican for the mainstream media when they need an anti-Trump quote, and Buck Sexton isn’t having it:

Mitt Romney is a sitting Senator worth hundreds of millions of dollars who feels the need to operate a sock puppet twitter account to snark at people and pump himself up And Mitt is supposed to be the #nevertrump leader with the *most* gravitas https://t.co/XdwWjoQgJq — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) October 21, 2019

A Republican Carlos Danger. — RRmike (@RRmike) October 21, 2019

The good people of Utah have been skunked…should start a recall… — Linda Nolan (@jumeaudoll84) October 21, 2019

If he started the account to defend himself, he must be awfully damn busy typing. — Jay Gettmann (@GettmannJay) October 21, 2019

Yeah, I'll bet he referred to #PierreDelecto in conversations too. You know, just to make sure people knew that his own thoughts and ideas were mainstream. ???? — Proud MoM (@PrDrJ) October 21, 2019
