Linq to Twitter Authenticated But Getting 215 "Bad Authentication Data" - twitter

Question

I have been using Linq to Twitter for Authenticating with OAuth for the Twitter API 1.1.
I set my credentials and then pass them to Linq to Twitter which states I that isAuth returns true. However, at run time I receive at 215 "Bad Authentication Data" error. Has anyone else had this problem?
var auth = new SingleUserAuthorizer
{
Credentials = new InMemoryCredentials
{
ConsumerKey = TwitterSettings.ConsumerKey,
ConsumerSecret = TwitterSettings.ConsumerKeySecret,
OAuthToken = TwitterSettings.AccessToken,
AccessToken = TwitterSettings.AccessTokenSecret,
}
};
auth.Authorize();
}
And here is the if else that is stating I am authorized:
if (auth == null || !auth.IsAuthorized)
{
}
// If Twitter Authorizes Application
if (auth.IsAuthorized && i == 1)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%23freebandnames&since_id=24012619984051000&max_id=250126199840518145&result_type=mixed&count=4"));
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
JObject obj = JObject.Parse(json);
var jsonResults = obj["results"];
await JsonConvert.DeserializeObjectAsync<List<Tweet>>(jsonResults.ToString());
}
I am able to get into the auth.IsAtuhorized portion of the code but the response is returning a 215 error. Also I know my URI is correct because I copied it straight from the Twitter API 1.1 example page to test the call. Thanks in Advance

You're using the authorizer properly, but then you aren't using LINQ to Twitter to make your query. You're using HttpClient instead and there isn't a relationship between the two APIs. Here's a example of how to perform a Search with LINQ to Twitter:
var srch =
(from search in twitterCtx.Search
where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
search.Query == "LINQ to Twitter" &&
search.Count == 7
select search)
.SingleOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine("\nQuery: {0}\n", srch.SearchMetaData.Query);
srch.Statuses.ForEach(entry =>
Console.WriteLine(
"ID: {0, -15}, Source: {1}\nContent: {2}\n",
entry.StatusID, entry.Source, entry.Text));
You can visit the LINQ to Twitter Search Documentation for more info on available parameters.
Update, Here's an asynchronous sample:
(from search in twitterCtx.Search
where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
search.Query == QueryTextBox.Text
select search)
.MaterializedAsyncCallback(asyncResponse =>
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
if (asyncResponse.Status != TwitterErrorStatus.Success)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error during query: " + asyncResponse.Exception.Message);
return;
}
Search search = asyncResponse.State.SingleOrDefault();
var tweets =
(from status in search.Statuses
select new Tweet
{
UserName = status.User.Identifier.ScreenName,
Message = status.Text,
ImageSource = status.User.ProfileImageUrl
})
.ToList();
SearchListBox.ItemsSource = tweets;
}));
