@gonicholasgo We made no mention of gender. This can happen to anyone unfortunately.

So can regret.
Some have been offended by our earlier tweet and we apologize that it came off negatively (1/2)

And what about being careful while tweeting?
@TravelGov Every second you leave this tweet up is another second you're going to very badly regret later.

The offending tweet was deleted, but not fast enough:
The damage was already done;
@TravelGov So I guess people who are a 10 don't have anything to worry about? Are you taking a page out of Trump's book?

@TravelGov someone earns a living managing this account? #fire #inappropriate #notfunny

@TravelGov This is repugnant. The person who tweeted it has dogshit judgment and should be fired.

True story. So a word of advice to anyone offended by the State Department’s tweet: You might want to steer clear of the parody account that’s sprung up.
