Shortly after deleting the substance , Miller ’s Twitter sent out a followup tweet exact the report had been “ HACKED , ” writing , “ The foul re - tweet has been removed and we have changed all story passwords . Be advised . ”

“ The campaign was retweeting information on Twitter today and inadvertently retweeted a tweet that they were not aware bear a disparaging condition , ” say Loefflerin a assertion . “ The tweet was taken down as soon as potential . Commissioner Miller finds the term vulgar and offensive and apologizes to anyone who may have see it . ”

Somehow , Miller ’s excuses were n’t enough to fulfill his fellow Texas Republicans , who shinny to outdistance themselves from the tweet .
