BODY SLAM EVERY JOURNALIST #Gianforte: Northeast Tarrant Tea Party tweet

FORT WORTH -- The day after a Montana congressional candidate was charged with assaulting a reporter at his campaign headquarters, the Northeast Tarrant Tea Party tweeted Thursday, “BODY SLAM EVERY JOURNALIST #Gianforte.”

The @NETarrantTea Twitter account soon deleted the tweet.

“We have several people who tweet for us,” Julie McCarty, president of the politically powerful NE Tarrant Tea Party, wrote in an email to the Star-Telegram. “I guess they thought this was funny, but it was in very poor taste so we removed it immediately.”

She declined to name the person behind the tweet but said “that person will not be tweeting for us anymore.”
