Mitt Romney bravely criticizes Donald Trump on Twitter... under the name of Pierre Delecto
But what gave Romney’s secret identity away were the accounts Pierre Delecto follows. They include Romney’s children and grandchildren, reporters who covered the Romney beat when he was running for president in 2012, former Romney staffers, and Romney fan accounts — as well as others it would seem to make sense for the senator might want to keep tabs on. Pierre Delecto also followed 702 accounts, only a few more than the 668 Romney told Coppins his lurker account followed.
Prominent public figures creating secret Twitter identities is not unheard of. Former FBI director James Comey once tweeted anonymously under the name Reinhold Niebuhr, a nod to the theologian he studied in college. In 2017, NBA superstar Kevin Durant was famously revealed to have been defending himself passionately from an anonymous account when he forgot to switch switch from his verified account before tweeting about himself in the third person. He later admitted to using burner accounts.
The revelation about Romney’s Francophone alter-ego comes as the senator has ramped up his criticism of President Trump, particularly in regard to his efforts to pressure Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden, and the decision to enable Turkey to invade northern Syria and attack the U.S.-allied Kurds. Trump has responded with relentless personal attacks. “Mitt Romney never knew how to win,” Trump wrote earlier this month.
For now at least, Romney seems to have leaned into his role as one of the president’s most vocal critic among Senate Republicans. In, he freely criticized the president on a number of topics, from his marital infidelity to his recent bungling in Syria. Though he stopped short of endorsing the impeachment inquiry launched by House Democrats, Romney did leave open the possibility that he could ultimately vote to remove Trump from office should he be impeached.
Though Romney has been critical of the president as of late, his response to Trump’s presidency has been more along the lines of how Rubin described it earlier this year: “nonconfrontation verging on spinelessness.” As Pierre Delecto may have responded to Trump’s countless offenses against democracy:
