The Pentagon quickly deleted and disavowed a retweet from its official account that called for President Donald Trump to resign amid allegations of sexual misconduct. The original post, from an activist using the account “Proud Resister,” also called on Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to leave his race and Senator Al Franken to resign from Congress. It accused Republicans of treating sexual assault as a partisan issue.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Rob Manning said an authorized operator had mistakenly retweeted content that the Department of Defense would not endorse. He said the operator noticed the error and immediately deleted it. Pentagon press secretary Dana White issued a similar clarification on Twitter, which the department’s account shared.

The incident occurred as sexual misconduct allegations against prominent figures in Washington and Hollywood had renewed questions about accusations against Trump. Before the election, 16 women had accused him of inappropriate behavior, and a recording had surfaced in which he spoke about grabbing women by their genitalia. Trump had called the claims “fake news.” Asked whether the White House considered his accusers to be lying, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said its position had been clear from the beginning and declined further comment.

A separate passage explains that Twitter users can add city-level or precise location information to tweets and delete their tweet location history.
