'Desperation isn't pretty': White House now citing GOP Twitter troll account for support

Brett T. | 4:32 PM on February 04, 2014

Forget all of the marketing and social media pros the tech-savvy White House has on staff. If you really want to understand the latest numbers from the Congressional Budget Office and the impact of Obamacare on jobs and the economy, just follow troll account @LOLGOP. At least that’s what the White House recommends, apparently.

.@LOLGOP is pretty much hitting the nail on the head re: absurdity of "incentive to work" argument.

That’s the Obama administration’s director of progressive media and online response steering followers to the Twitter account with the obscene elephant avatar.

BIG IDEA: Ban education and legalize child labor. Think of how many would be pulled into the job market.

Conservatives were laughing out loud at the absurdity of it.

Alternate headline: official White House twitter account endorses lunatic tweets from an auto-fellatiating elephant. @jesseclee44 @LOLGOP
