Most of the stories point to this August 29th tweet:

Maybe that dragged on, maybe there’s some private messages he heard about which aren’t public but the main point was simply that it seems like a politically convenient stretch to state with certainty that the blame goes entirely to an undefined “mob” rather than any of the other factors her friends and family acknowledge. I don’t love mob tactics but to be honest that read more like an an attempt to stir up a reactionary mob rather than calm things down.

If you look at Daphne’s “tweets and replies” you can see responses to entire threads that have been removed/deleted, many from suspended accounts.
