Earlier today, a senior advisor to President Obama tweeted what his subconscious mind was already thinking. Dan Pfeiffer was responding to a Twitter discussion about political polarization and how the Internet and social media plays a major factor.
He tweeted: “Also a much nigger factor on the right.” What Pfieffer meant to tweet was the word ‘bigger’ — but since ‘nigger’ was already occupying his subconscious mind, that’s what came out.
Why is Obama’s senior advisor lolly gagging around on socialmedia anyway? Is he one of the 800,000 furloughed non-essential workers?
Pfieffer immediately realized his error and deleted thetweet. But by then it was too late. Once released into the wild, a single tweet can cause all sorts of mayhem.
