Twitter accidentally verified a fake Cormac McCarthy account and here’s an explanation about how it happened.
The 88-year-old author has written such books as “The Road,” “No Country for Old Men,” and “Blood Meridian.”
The Twitter account @CormacMcCrthy has 49,200 followers and the bio says, “My publicist insists this is a worthwhile use of my remaining time.”

After the tweet went viral, the account was mistakenly verified by Twitter.
