The Drudge Report is reporting that actor Jake Gyllenhaal endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney for President this evening:
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal endorses Romney… drudge.tw/QjVaX3
— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) October 16, 2012
If true, this is a big story. But is the tweet really from Jake Gyllenhaal’s Twitter account? The account only has 10,289 followers and isn’t verified.
Twitchy will monitor the story and will update this post as soon as we find out more information.
Update: As of 8:56 pm ET, the story has been removed from The Drudge Report.
Sorry, Republicans, but this almost certainly is not a bona fide Jake Gyllenhaal account.
Update: Romney supporters continue to post jubilant tweets. They are going to be disappointed when they find out the truth:
Jake_ Gyllenhaal THANK YOU for endorsing #MittRomney!!!!

@jake_gyllenhaal Way to be an independent thinker..see the state of disrepair our country is in, and vote on information not ideology
