She didn't actually even say anything about their daddy. What could they possibly have found offensive enough to unfollow someone making a pretty damned obvious comment? They have become so thin-skinned that they are seeing insults that aren't even there.

Basically, what they did is just reinforce the fact that they are Nazi and KKK supporting white-supremacists and that anyone who criticizes those groups is their enemy. Unbelievable!

I recall stories during the campaign that multiple sources said that Trump mocked Matlin for her deafness and speech impairment much in the same way that he famously mocked the disabled reporter, and referred to the Oscar-winning actress as being "retarded." The whole Trump family is repulsive.

Isn't that the Trump standard? Anyone who might not agree is deemed "not good enough" to be a part of their circle. Fake? Less, etc.?

That whole damn family is completely bat-shit crazy. They make Michelle Bachman look normal.

She's the only Trump who isn't cozying up to the rest of that disfunctional family. You can't blame Barron because he's a child, but the rest of them flock around daddy and enable him.

If body language is any indication at all, Tiffany is always treated like a bastard at the family picnic, and she never gets the memo about what color every other female in the family is wearing for the group photo. God knows what her mother Marla told her about her inheritance rights (maybe stick close to daddy or you won't get any, plus now you're grown the money faucet's been turned off for mommy, so please help).

Barron is still just a kid, maybe more tolerable to the oldest 3 because his mother didn't break up their mother's marriage, but just barely. He looks very unhappy.

None of them ever show actual affection for the others.

If so, I suspect bullshit. All three happened to be on Twitter around the same time and decided to unfollow in quick succession? Unless they were all in a room together discussing it, this seems unlikely. Maybe 45 has access to their accounts and unfollowed on their behalf??

45 def did not delete his own retweet of the alt-right guy's statement the other day, nor did he delete the one about the train running over the CNN guy. He NEVER takes anything back. They have someone cleaning up their e-shit. That's why "covfefe" took so long to be removed. That cleanup guy has to sleep sometime.

...be under the purview of the cleanup crew. They're supposed to be totally divorced from the political side since they are running the business. But clearly this was someone managing their accts since it was done in such quick succession. Or I suppose the other possibility is that Marlee Matlin blocked them all.

all one has to do is turn on Fox to see their slicked back Nazi haircuts whining about fake news or whatever. The fact that all 3 of them unfollowed Marlee so close to one another even further confirms my suspicion of the cleanup crew.

I don't use Twitter, but if Marlee unfollowed them, I'd guess the Twitter message wouldn't have said what it did in the OP.
