@stephanie Makes you wonder, why did the team allow him to do this? But honestly, did the team even have a choice? How much of this #PRFail is linked to how decisions are made? So many questions.
@Koritsi @stephanie Maybe the PR team is just sick of him too and so didn’t push back on a unilingual statement, thinking “this is our chance to get rid of him!” /conspiracytheory
@stephanie @petergarner LOVE THIS :-) I feel for them, it can’t be easy.
