For Months, GOP Promoted Porn Twitter Account Rather Than Maryland GOP Page

For several months, the Republican National Committees website directed visitors who wished to reach the Maryland GOPs Twitter page to a porn page, instead.
In January, the Maryland Republican Party changed its Twitter handle, from @mdreps to @mdgop. The former handle was supposed to have been frozen by Twitter so that other Twitter users would be unable to claim it to use as their own moniker, according to emails between the state party and Twitter that Maryland GOP Executive Director Patrick OKeefe shared with TPM. That never happened.
I would assume it may have been a lapse in their support system, OKeefe said in an email.
The state party also never told the national party to change the Twitter account listed in the directory on GOP.com.
