Question regarding the FakeNewsNet ( Tweet earlier than articles )

Hello, I have a question regarding the fake news dataset.

For 'politifact11709', the original URL is 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/19/3rd-democratic-debate-transcript-annotated-who-said-what-and-what-it-meant/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_debateweb-745pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory' which leads to an article written on December 19, 2015. However, when examining the tweet with tid=89585682 (https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/89585682), it shows a tweet written by Barack Obama on June 4, 2007. This means that the tweet was written earlier than the date of the article's publication. How is this possible? (There have also been other articles with similar issues.)

Furthermore, from what I could tell, the tweet itself actually doesn't seem to mention the article. Could you provide some explanation on this as well?

Thank you.
