Twitter is using its embedded JavaScript to hide tweets that have been deleted

The privacy tradeoff is not Twitter's to make. The content was copied - while still available - and placed on another website. Twitter's responsibility is to serve or not serve content. If it cannot serve the content requested, for instance because that content was deleted, then they should not continue to alter the non-Twitter webpage.

Of course, the real problem is that the site administrator is allowing Twitter to run arbitrary code on their website. I have much to say on that topic, alas, it is the choir reading HN and they don't need me to preach.

Say if someone envokes a right to be forgotten on Twitter and it complies by deleting all tweets by said person (I’m imagining this is how it works) is it twitters responsibility or the website that embedded twitter’s tweet to ensure that it’s deleted? In my mind it’s Twitter since it comes from them no ?

I disagree with your assertion, though I recognize that it is one interpretation of responsibility.
