Buttigieg’s top advisor “Lis Smith” is trending on Twitter because someone believes that they discovered a “burner account” that appears to be her pretending to be Nigerian and very pro-Buttigieg:

https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1229068204128993282BUT he has a point about this account. It is kinda weird.
And that account reaaaally loves Lis Smith:
Huh, that definitely-not-Lis-Smith's-sock-puppet-account sure seems to love Lis Smith 🤔 pic.twitter.com/tEHvdLEbdB

LOL!
More evidence:
https://twitter.com/charles_kinbote/status/1229073893941501952This reddit account linked to Lis Smith’s alleged Nigerian twitter account. They have been all-in for Pete for a few months, but before that they only ever posted about bitcoin and sockpuppet recruiting. pic.twitter.com/yYenqqz1IF

.@lis_smith getting outed for having a sock puppet account (@easychinedu) where she pretends to be a Nigerian Pete Buttigieg supporter is probably my favorite part of the primary thus far. pic.twitter.com/y9NntNOC2e

Buttigieg campaign senior communications director, Lis Smith celebrates Black History Month by impersonating a pro-Pete Nigerian man on twitter, making this the 402nd Black endorsement faked by the former Mayor’s team. pic.twitter.com/saGd0xc4RT
The Nigerian account has now gone private:

Lis Smith asked me for my social security number and the name of the street I grew up on. She said that she needed the information or else I couldn’t have a press credential to cover Pete. https://t.co/47kciih1lo

The best part about the Lis Smith Nigerian burner account is she created a character who can't even vote for Buttigieg

This is almost as good as that one time I caught Alec Baldwin in a fake sock puppet account so that he could attack his critics, like me, and talk about how great Alec Baldwin is. It was even picked up at the Daily Caller. Ahhh good times!
