Can't recall ever seeing the NY Times embed tweets in a story, is this a first?

edit: apparently it's because I mostly read the site within the app.

No, they do it all the time, especially for politically-related stories.
They've done it before, especially for trump: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/us/politics/trump-apprenti...
I wonder if the embeds break when a tweet gets deleted. That was always one of my biggest concerns when using them: that someone else can change / break your article in the future.
The embeds resolve to plaintext when a tweet is deleted. In fact, the standard embed code includes the Tweet text in plaintext, so that at least the content is preserved
why i think adding an edit feature to twitter is thorny issue
