There are some Twitter bots that are meticulously implemented with elaborate attention to detail, and then there's @GOPArkansas. A substantial portion of this account's content consists of "RT GOPArkansas" repeated over and over at the beginning of each tweet.

Here is @GOPArkansas's tweet schedule. Nearly all tweets are automated via IFTTT, and have been since August 2017. The repetition of "RT GOPArkansas" within each tweet is likely a result of a misconfigured attempt to have the bot retweet its own tweets.
Exactly how many times can @GOPArkansas cram "RT GOPArkansas" into a given tweet? Up to 17 ever since Twitter switched to 280 character tweets. Granted, this doesn't leave room for actual content in the tweets, but apparently this is irrelevant to the account's 1157 followers.
In addition to the repeated text within the tweets, @GOPArkansas also likes to link the same things over and over - not just the same sites, but the exact same articles/blog posts. This table shows those which have been linked at least 20 times.
