I see this a lot in an attempt to smear a candidate or public figure: “Here are some abhorrent Tweets from their followers”. Of course, it’s an enumeration fallacy—there’s no way of knowing whether those Tweets accurately represent the candidate’s followers or not. That said, journalists are happy to find real life followers of candidates/etc with abhorrent views, but I suppose Twitter makes it easier to create the desired spin.
