Twitter community adds a context note to Team Vivek War Room tweet:  Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's official "War Room" Twitter account tweeted, “Hey @Mike_Pence. You get an 'F' for copying @VivekGRamaswamy's homework. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's not cool to rip off his revolutionary ideas and pawn them off as your own. Don't blame you. Vivek is super smart. @Harvard and @YaleLawSch degrees.” The tweet included a screenshot of a @VivekWarRoom tweet from Feb. 28 quoting Ramaswamy saying that he would end the Department of Education, and another screenshot of a Mike Pence tweet from Sep. 15, 2023 saying the same thing. Twitter added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "41 years ago, President Ronald Reagan called for the elimination of the Department of Education in his 1982 State of the Union address. annenbergclassroom.org/timeline_event…" The label is part of Twitter’s Community Notes system.
