Jack Hacked: Twitter Founder's Account Posts a Series of Racist, Nazi Tweets

The account of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey was briefly hacked Friday, shocking followers with a series of racist and vulgar tweets. The hijacked account tweeted and retweeted a number of offensive tweets to Dorsey’s more than 4.2 million followers, including ones saying the N-word, “Hitler is innocent,” and “Nazi Germany did nothing wrong.”

Some of the tweets pushed the hashtag “#ChucklingSquad” — the name of an online chat, according to The Daily Beast.
