Now, one verified Twitter account for the Disney|ABC Photo department has come out of a nearly two-year hiatus for a seemingly bizarre reason — to publicly slam a Disney fan site for a recent post.
Twitter user Chris! At the rope, drop shared a screenshot of the original post, in which the official ABC account commented on a fan site’s Tweet that did not feature a photo of Walt but instead showcased two former Walt Disney Company CEOs —Â Bob Iger and Michael Eisner. The comment reads:
And where is the photo of Walt Disney? This is a terrible oversight. Walt Disney was a genius and truly loved America and the world. Please update your post!!
Chris’s caption reads:
