Retweeting the Wall Street Journal’s Emily Glazer, who herself shared an article she wrote about how President Donald Trump will be held to different Twitter rules once he’s no longer in office, Rob Flaherty, Biden’s Digital Director, on Tuesday morning made the statement about the POTUS and White House accounts.

“In 2016, the Trump admin absorbed all of President Obama’s Twitter followers on @POTUS and @WhiteHouse — at Team 44’s urging,” Flaherty tweeted, referencing Barack Obama’s role as the 44th president. “In 2020, Twitter has informed us that as of right now the Biden administration will have to start from zero.”

Twitter spokesperson Nicholas Pacilio would not confirm Flaherty’s statement and stated that the social media platform is still talking with the Biden transition team about the transfer of the accounts.

“Twitter has been in ongoing discussions with the Biden transition team on a number of aspects related to White House account transfers,” Pacilio said in a statement.

In response to Pacilio, Flaherty reaffirmed his earlier statement, saying, “Hey @NickPacilio — happy to share the email thread where we pushed back and we were told this was unequivocal.”

Following this fiery retort, Pacilio replied, saying, “Hey Rob, no need i’m familiar with it!”

According to the Biden transition team, per The Hill, the social media platform will send out a one-time notification suggesting users who follow Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Twitter follow the “transition46” account which will be rebranded as the White House account. However, the POTUS, FLOTUS, and “PressSec” accounts will start with following zero accounts.

Both accounts together have 59.2 million followers, with the POTUS account having 33.2 million and the White House account having 26 million. Nonetheless, their total doesn’t even come close to the 88.5 million who follow President Trump’s personal account.

Sara Carter joined “The Next Revolution” with host Steve Hilton on Sunday to discuss her experience at the southern border and her growing concerns with the influx of migrants.

Carter has spent the last six weeks documenting the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border. She just recently returned from Tijuana, Mexico where she spoke with migrants and border patrol agents.

“It is a crisis that is astounding,” Carter told Hilton. “The only people benefiting from this are the drug cartels, the human traffickers, and the politicians who are using people as political pawns and especially the children.”

Moreover, Carter said she met many young children who had been separated from their families and some who had been victims of trafficking.

“I can’t stress enough that this is just the beginning of a crisis that is going to overwhelm our system this year,” Carter said.

President Joe Biden finally referred to the influx of migrants at the southern border as a “crisis” for the first time on Sunday.

For months, the Biden administration has avoided using the word “crisis” and instead referred to the border as a “challenge.”

Biden admitted over the weekend that his administration was focusing on the “crisis” and now the administration is ready to increase the number of refugees allowed into the country.

“We’re going to increase the number [of refugees],” Biden said. “The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people. We couldn’t do two things at once. But now we are going to increase the number.”
