Within that timeframe, the account consistently tweeted out pro-Trump, anti-Obama, anti-Clinton, anti-mainstream media and anti-Islam sentiments. The account is now gone, but we looked through some of the snapshots Wayback Machine saved to give you a taste of what it used to tweet:

As you would expect from the same people who bought fake news ads on Facebook, the account also dealt in falsehoods. According to Buzzfeed, it tweeted a photo of a Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship parade and claimed it was a crowd waiting to hear Trump speak. @TEN_GOP's real identity was first unearthed by Russian's RBC News as part of a report that details its country's efforts to influence politics in the US.

Tennessee Republican Party's communications director showed her emails dated September 17th, 2016, March 1st, 2017 and August 14th, 2017 to Buzzfeed reporting the fake account. While Twitter took way too long to take action, something might have happened in between the reports, since @TEN_GOP changed its description from "I love God, I Love my Country" to one that says it's the "Unofficial Twitter of Tennessee Republicans." We reached out to Twitter for a statement, but don't hold your breath: the company already refused to talk to Buzzfeed.
