Back in 2016, a whole lot of accounts found this phrase interesting enough to tweet verbatim, erroneous question mark and all:
"Obama prolly called romney and said ?I dont see how you can hate from outside the white house, you cant even get in! Hahaha Leggoo!"

@ZellaQuixote We found 1337 accounts that tweeted the exact phrase "Obama prolly called romney and said ?I dont see how you can hate from outside the white house, you cant even get in! Hahaha Leggoo!" They appear to have been created in batches and almost all went dormant in November 2016.
@ZellaQuixote The Obama/Romney tweet is hardly the only duplicate tweet this set of accounts has posted - this table shows the most frequently reused tweets among the most recent 3200ish tweets from each account (4085741 tweets total.)
@ZellaQuixote Not only do these accounts reuse tweets, they also reuse profile photos, with the most frequently used pics recycled across 20+ accounts each.
@ZellaQuixote Although these accounts hypothetically tweet (well, mostly tweeted) via the Twitter website, we suspect that they are nonetheless automated due to the sheer degree of repetition and unusual schedules that don't correlate to any kind of day/night cycle.
