Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a former presidential candidate, appeared to confirm the name of an anonymous Twitter account that had posted in the defense of the legislator in the past.<\/p>\n

Romney told The Atlantic<\/a> that he used a secret account on the social media platform to keep current on what was happening in politics. Most journalists and lawmakers are active on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do they call me, a lurker?\u201d Romney said before adding: \u201cI wont give you the name of it,\u201d referring to the account. He said he was following 668 people and named some of them, including comedian Conan OBrien.<\/p>\n

A Twitter account with no profile picture that was following OBrien and contained some other indications that it was being used by Romney later seemed to be confirmed by the lawmaker, who told the magazine when asked: \u201cCest moi,\u201d or, \u201cIts me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The account was named \u201cPierre Delecto\u201d and followed a number of Romney family members and others linked to the family, including Mark DeMoss, an adviser to Romneys 2012 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

The account was created in July 2011, one month before Romney announced he was running for president, and included 10 tweets, the first in Dec. 2015, when Romney tweeted at Fox News about candidate Donald Trump leading a Republican primary poll in New Hampshire. \u201cWhy isnt your NH poll up on your web site?\u201d the account asked.<\/p>\n

The other nine posts were from this year. Pierre Delecto tweeted at a Bloomberg reporter who named four GOP senators he said were \u201csticking up for\u201d Sen. Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n
