Twitter is not for everyone.
After a horrific weekend that saw a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia turn deadly, Indio’s Mayor Pro Tem Michael Wilson took to Twitter to let everyone know what the real problem in the United States is: liberals and the media (the tweet is screenshotted as Wilson, for some weird reason, deleted it).
Wilson also tweeted a conspiracy theory flyer (also deleted) and retweeted this:

Naturally, these things didn’t go over well and Wilson was called out by author Tod Goldberg and journalist Maggie Downs…

I told you, Michael, my grandfather didn't escape from Russia so that I could dine with people who retweet anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

A woman was killed by Nazis and you said the real problem in the U.S. was the media and liberals. That's what you said.

Wilson then announced he was going on TV to explain (because Twitter is hard, I guess):

He then apologized (and it wasn’t face to face over Starbucks):
