Julia Ioffe is a staff writer at The Atlantic. She focuses on Russian issues and always has since I’ve seen her on the scene. So, of course she’s also one of the main people pushing the Russia/Trump collaboration conspiracy. As a side note, she was fired from Politico last December after sending out this lovely tweet…

Tonight, some enterprising Twitter users found another one of her old classics. This time, it deals with Bill Maher’s favorite word, that famous one that starts with “n”…
That’s quite a…colorful tweet, Julia. What do you have to say for yourself?
My Twitter has been hacked. But I weirdly can't see the offending tweet in my timeline. I would never, and have never, used that word. 1/2

I'm sorry to anyone my hackers offended. It is one of the ugliest words there is. I didn't write it but I'm sorry regardless. Disgusting.

Ah, yes! The old “I WAS HACKED” excuse. 99.9 times out of 100, this defense is complete bullshit. Anthony Weiner tried it once upon a time, and you see where that went. Ms. Ioffe, sensing that this wasn’t going to fly, sent out her progressive goon squad to think up a better plan.
She was quoting, you see! Ah yes, that’s the ticket!
This is crazy, but this must've been what happened. I should've used quotes, though. I'm sorry for any confusion and offense. So bad. https://t.co/lIOAZwf81D

Thank you to @yashar, @Mottel, and @bdomenech for your sharp eyes and big hearts. I don't know what I'd have done without you.

Of course, we have no way of knowing if the person she supposedly quoted actually exists. Given her nasty nature in the past, she could have just invented this person so that she could tweet out the n-word. Who knows? We can say for certain that she lied when caught and now she’s spinning like crazy.
Others are skeptical as well…

They’re even finding more Julia Classics!
Imagine if I had tweeted something like this out…under any circumstances real or imagined. My account would be nuked within an hour, no questions asked.
But wait, there’s more!
That was fun! Teenagers came out to beat up blacks/socialize. Check @MiriamElder for awesome pics.

I wonder what new excuses will be invented before morning! Stay tuned to find out.
