1/ @OfficeOfRG's tweet retweeted 30K+ times had twitter awash with hashtags like
#RahulWaveInKazakh
#RahulBotAttack
What is the truth? 👇👇👇
2/ Short version : @OfficeOfRG was collateral damage in someone's campaign against Donald Trump
Long version & proof : Read on 👇👇
3/ Here is the tweet by @OfficeOfRG that was retweeted 30K+ times
4/ Twitter, TV channels, IT Cell, a few ministers all went overboard criticising @OfficeOfRG
5/ Building upon this analysis by @DDSez, I found that:
6/ On 15th Oct (at least) two unrelated tweets showing Trump in negative light have been retweeted tens of thousands of times by bots
7/ What are the similarities between @OfficeOfRG and @TravisAllen02?
Both have large number of followers & tweeted something about Trump
8/ Maximum number of RTs for Travis (excluding the viral tweet) in the last 10 days is 237
RG also had much lower RTs except the one
9/ There are at least 1497 users, presumably bots that have RTed both tweets.
Here are a few samples
10/ I say "at least 1497" because this comparision between only 14000 RTs of RG's tweet vs 2300 RTs of @TravisAllen02
(due to tech issues)
11/ As always, here is the raw data of both sets of retweets by the bots :
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
12/ Clicking any link on column B redirects to RG's tweet and any link on Column C to TravisAllen02's tweet
13/ @Republic seems to have uncovered this already, but they have just left it this ambiguous tweet and continued bashing @OfficeOfRG
