What no one expected was that the tweet explostion was so widely embraced.

The messages asking the representative to make a retraction continued into Friday morning and brought the representative and his party to try defend themselves on the internet, however, unfortunately in their placementended up reinforcing the position of the Representative.

When the tweeting happened, the representative posted messages with words “stupid”, “mediocres” and fanatics”

Finally, the Representative Jean Wyllys did not retract his words, continued the echo of his accusation, but certainly slept knowing that there exists a generation that is not silent and is with Pope Benedict XVI.
