I have no idea who this dude is.  I know nothing about him.   I’ve never seen “games, tech, fashion and travel” all used in the same description of somebody’s job.  I have no idea if being a troll is his shtick or something.

I know he has 60K Twitter followers, and has some pretty reputable companies listed as places he has written for…

…And I know it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen somebody be more of a fucking asshole on Twitter.

Really hoping for his sake he left his account logged in on an ex girlfriend’s phone or something.  Having a hard time believing there’s a real live human being who would decide a tragedy involving 19 dead and 50 injured (and counting) is the best time to test out their new edgy stand up material.

Did you wake up this morning expecting a “I was hacked” excuse or a long heartfelt apology?

I’ve got bad news for you.

Then… don’t thank him, it’s no big deal, really…but he deleted the tweet.

Now anyone who has ever visited the internet knows the move here is to just lay low.  Either delete your account entirely, or just log off for a few weeks and go on vacation or something.  Let the natural cycle of outrage take its course.  Let people rake you over the coals for the next few days, maybe even a week, then everyone will move on to the next thing and you’ll just become a footnote in asshole history.

Leavitt chose a different strategy.

Memes and hashtags baby. Memes and hashtags. Win the hearts and minds of the millennials. That’s how you get public favor back on your side. Oh and mocking the Red Cross.

Lay the kicker on me!

Ahhhh yes.
