GOP just stepped in it
The Fourth of July should be an easy opportunity for just about anyone in American politics to score some easy points. All you have to do is post the kind of generic patriotic message that most or all Americans will identify with, and you’ve got yourself a home run.
Unfortunately for the Republican Party, it’s now in such a state of incompetent disrepair that it couldn’t even land its July 4th tweet. The official @GOP Twitter account was forced to delete a “Fourth of July” after it included not one but two instances of the Liberian flag instead of the United States flag.
This wasn’t just some tiny mistaken emoji that came as the result of not being able to squint properly. It was a pair of large flags at the center of the tweet. It’s a mistake anyone could make. But the Republican Party isn’t just anyone. It’s surreal that an organization of its size isn’t having anyone competent check its work before tweets are posted.
