Talking Points Memo Editor Josh Marshall accidentally tweeted lesbian pornography in a botched attempt to mock Team Trump for their response to President Obama’s new sanctions against Russia.
Marshall, whose Talking Points blog was once called “one of the most popular and most respected sites” by the New York Times Magazine, attacked Donald Trump by writing “they did say targeting close associates”, implying his alleged connections with the Kremlin. He added an explicit video clip of women in sexual congress.
Marshall claimed he was responding to a Politico article in which Trump team members said they are “the true target of Obama’s sanctions” against Russia.

The editor tried to pretend his use of porn was intentional rather than an accident, asking people to look up the previous tweet before mocking him.
Needless to say, most Twitter remained baffled:
@fakedansavage @joshtpm well those associates certainly are … close

Has @joshtpm been hacked? (Or is there a subtle political subtext I'm missing, to that cunnilingus?)
