Way back machine has always been a left wing website. I find it more likely than not that the problem is on their end.

Perhaps the Wayback Machine could solve this problem if they wanted. Here is a forum at the Wayback Machine with a possible explanation:

i think it is due to the fact that socials (Facebook, twitter, instagram) require to access to your account in order to see the post. But the archiver is a bot and has no account linked, so it must be redirecting to some login blank page and getting stuck there i guess (?).

Another archiving service also cannot archive the Twitter posts: Archive.today

So, this problem is not just at the Wayback Machine.
