Bad morning, America.

A hacker compromised three of ABC News’ Twitter accounts early Thursday morning, sending a mix of profanity-laden and Trump-praising tweets onto respective accounts.

ABC News, Good Morning America and GMA’s GMA Pop News were all entangled in the tweet storm.

“We resolved the issue quickly & errant tweets were deleted,” ABC News said in a statement.

Some of the NSFW posts were screen grabbed by Twitter users before they were deleted. Take a look below.
