In reply to Mwbrandl.

Truthfully, I'm not sure. My guess from reading his social media comments is that material posted to Facebook is vetted and clean. Majority of the original content posted on Twitter seems the same way. The responses, the public ones at least, appear to be quick responses--no punctuation, misspellings, shorthand ("disagreement a free speech"), make me think it's not someone very tech-saavy and/or who is accustomed to someone else editing his work. His response to me, with a number of other responses, were posted early Sunday morning (before 9 a.m.).

In short, I don't know, but I think it is reasonable to think it is a strong likelihood it was him.

My two-cents is that public officials should be clear when it is them and when it is their staff generating content (e.g. Pres. Obama's Twitter account clearly states it is his campaign and only signed tweets are from him directly). Especially if their staff will make their boss look that petty.
