Someone tweeting from the
official Secret Service feed sent this message on Wednesday:
“Had to monitor Fox for a story. Can’t. Deal. With. The. Blathering.”
The tweet was almost immediately deleted, but not before it was retweeted,
captured as a screenshot, and even
photographed with an iPhone.
The Secret Service offered this response to
ABC News:
“An employee with access to the Secret Service's Twitter account, who mistakenly believed they were on their personal account, posted an unapproved and inappropriate tweet. The tweet did not reflect the views of the U.S. Secret Service and it was immediately removed. We apologize for this mistake, and the user no longer has access to our official account.”
So, there you go. These things even happen to the people charged with protecting the president’s life.
