There's a headline I never thought I would write.

But it happened. Oh, it happened. And while it looks as though all the tweets have been deleted in the political battle between ex-Twins Anthony Swarzak and Jacque Jones, Yardbarker has preserved it in all its glory.

It all started with Swarzak defending Donald Trump and denouncing the current president. We'll let you take it from there, though I will note that it was mostly Swarzak doing the tweeting.
