Thursday’s activity on Twitter should surprise no one. Chris Christie was the topic, and Rachel Maddow was the show. I have never, ever seen Rachel get this kind of reaction on Twitter in the nearly two years I’ve been looking at these things, except during the peak moments of the 2012 election. She even drove MSNBC to the best mentions of any cable news network.
Interesting to see #bridgegate emerge as the dominate hashtag as well.
Well done, Ms. Maddow and team. Simply awesome recognition by the public on social media.
