The quoted individual, tagged as @StephenM, is identified in the post as the source of the statement praising the president’s tenure. The Rapid Response 47 account operates as an administration messaging channel that promotes policy claims and defends the president’s platform.

The White House rapid response account has drawn attention this month for its combative posture. It branded a CNN reporter who asked Trump about Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff a “disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession,” according to theguardian. The account, which carries 2.2 million followers, later invoked the reporter’s children in a follow-up message, prompting criticism, according to theguardian.
