New: Erica Marsh became one of the most consistently viral liberal accounts on Twitter. Only problem: She's probably fake. Her account was suspended after we asked Twitter workers about it. Doesn't this kind of rage baiting make you angry? Boost if you agree

@drewharwell Who really cares what's going on at #Twitter? It's a far-right hate site. I'll still go there occasionally to troll fascist GOP politicians and officials but it would be best if the site just died. No one should be using it for any legitimate purpose. The owner is a disturbed fascist creep.
