Yesterday, the Family Feud Twitter account tweeted out an attack on the Tea Party and John Boehner:
After being roundly criticized and soundly Twitter-smacked for the tweet, without response, today the account claimed it had been “hacked”:
Our account was hacked. Earlier post was not from the show. We apologize for it and took it down.

The claim was met with some skepticism, with some comparing it to a “Weiner-defense”.
@FamilyFeud Really? Not buying it! Proof needed. Sounds like PR spin. Who hacked it?

Did you file a police report? @FamilyFeud Our account was hacked. Earlier post was not from the show. We apologize for it and took it down.

The tweet itself was similar to a tweet being pushed by another army of “eggs”, the $10/hour trolls, often hired by the left to push agenda items on Twitter.
