Joe Biden Leverages Twitter Hack to Plug Campaign Fundraising

Presidential hopeful Senator Joe Biden took an opportunistic chance to raise money from the recent Twitter scam.

His Twitter feed included a snarky request for donations from anyone who wants to keep ‘Donald Trump a one-term President:’

I don’t have Bitcoin, and I’ll never ask you to send me any.

But if you want to chip in to help make Donald Trump a one-term President, you can do that here: https://t.co/8XtBjuU5fX

Ironically, Biden’s Twitter account had been hacked the day before in what has become the largest security breach in the company’s history. The tweet also included an interesting phrase, as Biden explicitly states that he ‘doesn’t own any Bitcoin.’ Furthermore, he refuses to take donations in Bitcoin, and will never ask for any. Some Twitter users found this humorous and the took the opportunity to throw a few jabs. https://twitter.com/wcslick/status/1283817307861590017 Others responded by mocking Biden’s reputation of being a bit scatterbrained: https://twitter.com/bitcoin_dad/status/1283801439811145729 Overall, the general tenor of the replies simply enforced the polarization of American voters. Most feel very strongly either for or against Biden, with little movement either way.
