But watching from home, Alexander McCoy saw an opportunity for a monumental Twitter prank and a subtle act of civil disobedience. It was based, he told The Washington Post, on his seething anger at how Trump thinks of immigrants — and a pun. McCoy, a Marine Corps veteran, wrote a tweet on April 26, which, not so coincidentally, was #AlienDay on Twitter, a tie-in with an upcoming movie. Wouldn't it be a shame if millions of people called this hotline to report their encounters with aliens of the UFO-variety. We’ve been ranting at our members of Congress for not showing up at town halls for so long,” he told The Post.
