 The Pentagon today quickly disavowed what it called a mistaken retweet from its official social media account of an activist’s call for President Donald Trump to step down. 
 
 A Twitter user identified as @proudresister, in referring to recent allegations of sexual misconduct, tweeted: “The solution is simple… Roy Moore: Step down from the race. Al Franken: Resign from congress.” The tweet concluded with "Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency. GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue. It’s a crime as is your hypocrisy.”

 The Pentagon’s official Twitter account then reposted the broadside before quickly deleting it. 
 
 Pentagon spokesman Col. Rob Manning issued a statement explaining that an “authorized operator” of the account “erroneously re-tweeted content that would not be endorsed by the Department of Defense.” 
 
 He added that “the operator caught this error and immediately deleted it.” 
 
 Pentagon press secretary Dana White tweeted a similar clarification, which the Pentagon's official Twitter account also shared. 
 
 Many Twitter profiles contain a disclaimer saying that retweets do not constitute an endorsement, but the Pentagon account, @DeptofDefense, does not. 
 
 The @proudresister account also links to a website selling anti-Trump collectibles such as T-shirts. ||||| The Pentagon's official Twitter account retweeted a tweet saying President Trump should resign, a move that was made "erroneously," according to the Department of Defense's chief spokesperson. 
 
 On Thursday afternoon, the Pentagon's account retweeted a tweet from the account "Proud Resister," claiming Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, Sen. Al Franken and Mr. Trump — all of whom are now accused of sexual misconduct — should step aside or resign. Ahead of the election, 16 women accused then-candidate Trump of behaving inappropriately towards them, and Mr. Trump was caught on camera talking about grabbing women by their genitalia.

 Dana White, assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs, said on Twitter that retweet happened "erroneously," and included content that "would not be endorsed by the Department of Defense."

 Sexual harassment allegations against other figures in Washington and Hollywood have forced the White House to once again answer lingering questions about the president's own behavior. 
 
 Last month, CBS News White House reporter Jacqueline Alemany asked White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if it is the White House's position that the women who have accused him are lying. In the past, Mr. Trump has called the claims "fake news." 
 
 "Yeah, we've been clear on that since the beginning, and the president has spoken on it," Sanders said, declining to comment further. ||||| “It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting, I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please.” 
 
 Following a racist Twitter rant that cost Roseanne Barr her show on ABC, the television star apologized and bid farewell to the social media platform. Then, she returned and blamed the sleep aid Ambien in a tweet that was later deleted. 
 
 On Tuesday morning, Barr tweeted: “I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter.” 
 
 I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018 
 
 For a while, all was quiet. 
 
 But Barr did not leave Twitter. 
 
 Instead, she launched a tweetstorm late Tuesday evening, first with apologetic tweets, some of which were also deleted. 
 
 “I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people, and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet,” she wrote. 
 
 In one of her few remaining tweets, Barr asked her followers not to defend her, saying, “it’s sweet of you 2 try, but…losing my show is 0 compared 2 being labelled a racist over one tweet-that I regret even more.” 
 
 hey guys, don't defend me, it's sweet of you 2 try, but...losing my show is 0 compared 2 being labelled a racist over one tweet-that I regret even more. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018 
 
 And then she opened fire with a volley of defensive retweets that appeared designed to make her look like a victim of “double standards,” as one user said, punished because she supports President Trump and conservative views, “the sacrificial conservative celebrity.” 
 
 I look like a monkey. Why? My DNA is 96% similar to a monkey's. It makes scientific sense. But due to emotions, double standards & feelings science is cancelled this year. There are 5,000 genders & if you don't agree with me you're a racist xenophobe. — An0maly (@LegendaryEnergy) May 30, 2018 
 
 Her retweets, among other things, called out Disney, the parent company of ABC, for tolerating an anti-Trump screed by Keith Olbermann, who recently returned to ESPN, also owned by Disney. Some retweeted posts also criticized ABC’s lack of response to comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s mocking of Melania Trump’s accent as well as “The View’s” Joy Behar calling Vice President Pence mentally ill because of his faith. Kimmel and Behar later apologized. 
 
 Even Harvey Weinstein was treated better by Disney than Barr, suggested one of her retweets. 
 
 Many of the retweeted posts were also later removed from Barr’s Twitter feed. 
 
 Here’s a sampler:

 This Rosanne thing was always a proxy for Pres Trump. They brought the show back so they could inevitably cancel the show when she said something they didn’t like. They can’t beat Trump so this is a symbolic show of force. Rosanne was always going to end this way. — 🇺🇸 A Free Black Man. 🇺🇸 (@AFreeBlackMan) May 29, 2018 
 
 And finally, early Wednesday morning, Barr tweeted: 
 
 “I’m sorry 4 my tweet, AND I will also defend myself as well as talk to my followers. so, go away if u don’t like it. I will handle my sadness the way I want to. I’m tired of being attacked & belittled more than other comedians who have said worse.” 
 
 She later deleted that tweet, as well. 
 
 Meanwhile, the “Ambien tweet” had caused its own ruckus, despite its deletion. 
 
 I hope ambien has to issue a statement saying they don’t make people racist — Dana Schwartz (@DanaSchwartzzz) May 30, 2018

– See, this is why all those Twitter profiles are sure to note that retweets do not equal endorsements. CBS News reports the Pentagon's official Twitter account on Thursday retweeted a tweet calling for President Trump's resignation. "GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue," tweeted "Proud Resister" while calling for Roy Moore, Sen. Al Franken, and Trump to all resign or step aside due to allegations of sexual misconduct. The tweet was retweeted—and then soon deleted—by the Department of Defense Twitter account. According to Politico, Pentagon spokesperson Col. Rob Manning confirmed the retweet was made by the "authorized operator" of the department's Twitter account. In her own tweet, Pentagon spokesperson Dana White said the call for Trump's resignation was "erroneously retweeted" and contained "content that would not be endorsed by the Department of Defense."
