Denham/Duncan confusion

Y’all really should check your tags before posting.I live in SC. Jeff Denham is in CA.We are both good looking guys but I think you want him

— Rep. Jeff Duncan (@RepJeffDuncan) August 31, 2017

Rep. Jeff Duncan posted on Twitter that people should “check your tags before posting” because he was tagged when Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., should have been. The congressman added, “We are both good looking guys but I think you want him”

He was replying to a man on Twitter who appears to have corrected the tweet or deleted the one the congressman was responding to.

Stop watching @POTUS tweets, follow what @RepJeffDenham will be voting on soon. This is how he plans to take care of #CA10 Right Jeff??? https://t.co/yNjSOE1DFB
