Why do my old and deleted SMS twitter messages keep reappearing

I have a Pixel, Android 8.1.0. I prefer to receive tweets via SMS. I will read and delete the entire conversation a message at a time after I have read them. Later (it could be hours, or a couple of days) the ones I have read, plus others I have not previously seen reappear from several days back. They are time stamped from when they originally came in. Sometimes I get as many as six days worth. This does not happen with any other conversation stream other than Twitter. I have asked Google and they say to ask Twitter. I have asked Twitter and just get the run around with the support bot.
 
Do the conversations still exist in Twitter as unread? I could see them being resent. I don't tweet much so I'm not sure how the whole tweet to SMS thing works.
 
Could they be stored on your SIM card? I unknowingly had some messages on the SIM storage and every time I deleted them they would reappear.
