During a natural disaster that threatened the entire city, I made a series of irresponsible and inaccurate tweets.” Shashank Tripathi (@ComfortablySmug) tweeted that day. “While some would use the anonymity and instant feedback of social media as an excuse, I take full responsibility of my actions. I deeply regret any distress of harm they may cause. I have resigned from the congressional campaign of Christopher Wight, effective immediately.” Shashank Tripathi added. “I’m so pleased to announce that Nick Mackey will take over as Campaign Manager as Chief of Staff he has been an invaluable asset to the campaign by leading the team and delivering my message of job creation and economic recovery.” Wight wrote on his official website, adding that he has accepted Tripathi‘s resignation. According to Buzzfeed, which was believed to be first one to reveal his identity, Tripathi sent several ‘Breaking’ news tweets on the latest update of Superstorm Sandy, including the claim that “the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was under more than 3 feet of water,” which was retweeted many times. Apparently, the said NYSE flooding claim was also reported in major US news including CNN, but was proven not true, and corrected their report. ComfortablySmug later tweeted that the report is not true and that NYSE is not flooded.

The two clashed as they debated about creating jobs, tax reforms, and economic policies, among others. During the debate, Graves said that if he wins, he will remove the wage base on Social Security contributions, where an income above $110,000 is currently not taxable. Bachmann insisted that it would mean “the largest tax increase in American history” and accused Obamacare of taking money from Medicare. “We have to reform the system for those that are 55 years and younger. And whether that’s changing age variables, there’s a number of variables that we can put in. That’s what we have to look at.” Bachmann said, with the debate being hosted by St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce President Teresa Bohnen. “You just heard some political speak there…Again, Michele doesn’t say what she’s for. She says what she’s against.” Graves said of Bachmann, who ended her campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination last January, and is running for her fourth term. “This is a moral issue. We can’t go down the path that we’re in. And yes, I’ve very much been a part of the solution and it’s insulting to say these are political speech because that’s one thing I do not do is political speech.” Bachmann said; who will face Graves again this Thursday, November 01 and on Sunday, November 4.
