Let's also not be so cavalier with using the word "resurface". That implies something that just naturally came up. This has been a right-wing tactic for years now and every time we fall for it we enable them. This is how we get Trump. This is an intentional orchestrated political distraction and don't fool yourself into thinking this is anything but that. Please stop enabling this.

I checked the tweet's source but I have no idea whether that was the original source. It's very hard to say whether the present use of these past tweets by Rainbow is a concerted campaign to bring down an opponent or not. So I'd say your point is very possible but not necessarily provable. That margin of uncertainty is, for the present time until the next platform upstages it, the awesome power of Twitter.
