US Republican Senator Mitt Romney has revealed he uses a secret Twitter account under the name Pierre Delecto.
In an interview with The Atlantic magazine on Sunday, the former presidential candidate admitted he had a “lurker” Twitter handle to follow the US political conversation anonymously.
While he did not reveal its name, US news site Slate posted an article speculating it could be Pierre Delecto, @qaws9876.
Asked to confirm by a journalist, Mr Romney said, “C’est moi” (“It’s me”).
The Utah senator and former governor of Massachusetts is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, a fellow Republican. It is unknown why he chose the account name, Pierre Delecto.
