Rick Perry, the Republican Governor of Texas, is already facing a criminal indictment for alleged abuse of power. Now, however, an ill-advised tweet from his verified account could only muddy the waters further for the potential 2016 Presidential candidate.

According to a report from USA Today, the tweet was a personal dig at Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat District Attorney in Travis County with whom Perry has struggled in the past. In fact, it was a tussle with Lehmberg that got Perry an indictment in the first place.

In April 2013, Lehmberg was convicted on a DUI charge. Perry pressured her to resign from her D.A. post, but when she refused, he cut off funds to her office, which prosecutes political corruption throughout Texas. Ironically, that action got Perry accused of abusing his power, which in turn led to his indictment this month. Perry has thus far pleaded not guilty in the case.

Lehmberg has not been leading the charge against Perry for this current abuse of power case, and was not directly involved with his indictment. Instead, the duty has fallen to Michael McCrum, a special prosecutor from the San Antonio area who was assigned to the case by a judge. However, since Lehmberg’s refusal to resign ignited Perry’s legal woes, it is certainly not hard to imagine there being hard feelings toward the Travis County D.A. in the Texas Governor’s political camp.

Those hard feelings manifested themselves on Sunday night, when Perry’s verified Twitter account tweeted an image of Lehmberg with the caption “I don’t always drive drunk at 3x the legal blood alcohol limit … but when I do, I indict Gov. Perry for calling me out about it. I am the most drunk Democrat in Texas.”

Perry says that the tweet did not come from him and was not authorized or condoned. The disparaging post was quickly taken down, and Perry sent out another tweet denying responsibility. Perry’s second tweet did not, however, include an apology to Lehmberg. It is also unclear who was in charge of Perry’s social media accounts when the tweet went out.
