GOP Rep. Issa tweets photos of Lee Harvey Oswald, Himmler, for Veterans Day

[RufusTFirefly]

Ultra-conservative, and powerful, Republican Cong. Darrell Issa of California’s right-wing Orange County, got caught with his pants down today when he unwittingly tweeted photos of Kennedy-shooter Lee Harvey Oswald, and then notorious Nazi commander Heinrich Himmler, to honor Veterans Day.

5. Issa was duped into retweeting phony tributes

He apparently didn't check or recognize the photos before retweeting them.

6. I just saw the link to the blog which I missed the first time

that I read the OP. Still--it is strange!! Seems the 'lessser-fans' were playing the joke and Issa took the bait.


....It seems that Issa launched a campaign, asking folks to tweet photos of their relatives who had served our country.

Some lesser-fans of Mr. Issa decided to tweet him photos of notorious villains to see if Issa would then retweet them to the masses.

And he did.

First off, here’s the Himmler tweet:.........
