Seems Nancy Pelosi got confused by a parody account on Twitter and instead of doing her due diligence (and verifying her information before spewing), she went on C-SPAN and blathered all about goats.
While I accept full responsibility for my actions, I feel it is unfair that I have been made the sole scapegoat for what happened. (1/2)

But if a scapegoat is what's needed for this Administration to continue to take this great nation forward, I am proud to do my duty.

The failing @nytimes, @NancyPelosi & @RepCummings issued statements based on 100% FAKE news. We expect more from our media & politicians!

Just one problem, of course: the account has nothing to do with the real Flynn, who uses the verified handle @GenFlynn. Flynn had not tweeted from his official account since December but appeared to be back online later Tuesday after the flap over the fake account.
Both Pelosi and Cummings later acknowledged the error.
