Who’s Having a Good/Bad Day on Twitter

Our main characters on Twitter Wednesday were conservative activist Charlie Kirk and Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard.

HAVING A GOOD ONE

KIRK: The Turning Point USA leader took a victory lap online and on Fox News after forcing ABC’s “The View” to apologize for linking his student group’s conference over the weekend to neo-Nazi protesters outside.

.@charliekirk11 gives an update after The View apologized for smearing @TPUSA:

"What did it take for us to get to the point of an apology? We had to threaten a lawsuit. And by the way we're still entertaining it." pic.twitter.com/3a24ejAp9a

HAVING A BAD ONE

BALLARD: The Colts executive drew ridicule for making pro-gun control comments during a press conference that suggested he was unfamiliar with the basics of firearms or their regulation.

I have good news for Mr. Ballard, an 18-year-old can not just "walk in and by an AK-15 automatic weapon." In part because there aren't "AK-15s" and in part because new sales of automatic weapons have been banned since 1986. https://t.co/wKPKOfJsvO
