State Department backtracks on endorsing Ivanka Trump’s new book
Ever since Twitter took off, many users have seen fit to include a disclaimer that their “retweets aren’t endorsements”—sometimes you’re just helping someone show their ass (figuratively and otherwise). For most, this social media sharing of occasionally questionable material doesn’t elicit much more than a “did you mean to RT this?” or “what is wrong with you?” But because the State Department’s Twitter accounts are under much greater scrutiny, it caught some heat over a retweet of a promotional post from Ivanka Trump. Apparently, someone with access to the agency’s Office Of Global Women’s Issues’ Twitter account passed along a post from the first daughter’s (no, not Tiffany—it’s never Tiffany) personal account, touting the release of her new book, Women Who Work.
