CONWAY — A Twitter account purporting to be that of the Mount Washington Valley Republicans has been hosting inflammatory tweets, such as about "Antifa hunting."
Local Republican leaders say they had nothing to do with them and are investigating a tweet showing an "Antifa Hunting Permit" that says, "Open Season All 58 Gender Identies" as well as "No Bagging Limit" and "No Tagging Required."
