Romney previously admitted in an interview with The Atlantic that he maintained a second, secret Twitter account in addition to his official page in order to see what was being discussed in politics (and, it later transpired, chime in with conversations defending himself).

“He explained that he uses a secret Twitter account—‘What do they call me, a lurker?’—to keep tabs on the political conversation,” The Atlantic’s article read. “I won’t give you the name of it,” he said, but “I’m following 668 people.”

After it was revealed that Romney’s account was one by the name of “Pierre Delecto,” the Republican admitted to another reporter: “C’est moi.”

And the ensuing interest in what the account had said, which other accounts it followed, and why Romney had opened the account to begin with, was apparently taken in good humor—with Romney appearing to join in the joke with his grandson.

“Great costumes! Thomas, #OutOfTheWill!,” Romey wrote on Twitter (from his official account rather than from Pierre Delecto’s now private page), sharing a message posted by his son Tagg, featuring a picture of his grandson Thomas in a suit, beret, dark sunglasses and a mustache—wearing a name badge that read “Pierre Delecto,” with “Mitt Romney” crossed out in black pen above it.

The Delecto account was made private shortly after it was revealed that it was Romney’s second account, but prior to that had tweeted just 10 times. All of the tweets were responses to tweets written by other people—as per the “lurker” modus operandi.

Additionally, the account liked a number of tweets that criticized President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, as well as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham.

Largely, the messages sent from the Delecto account concerned Romney and attempted to defend him from criticism, on one occasion responding to a tweet that accused Romney of not having a moral compass.

“Only Republican to hit Trump on [Mueller] report, only one to hit Trump on character time and again, so Soledad, you think he’s the one without a moral compass?” the Delecto account wrote, among a number of messages defending Romney.
