Friday on “The View” White House press secretary Jen Psaki made a bit of a Freudian slip when she said “I love working for President Obam… President Biden.” Perhaps Psaki should have stuck with the first version, because judging from Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s tweet Saturday, Obama-era hashtag diplomacy is so very back:
I #StandWithUkraine. @StateDept stands with Ukraine. The United States stands with Ukraine. https://t.co/7Vj0amAf22
— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) January 22, 2022
Update: Blinken’s spox has joined in:
.@StateDept is with Ukraine. We #StandWithUkraine 👋 https://t.co/9z7dhjTenz

Yep, the Obama folks are certainly back in charge.
Uh oh. We're back to hashtag diplomacy.

This administration governs via hashtag, not strength. No wonder our adversaries don’t respect the United States under Joe Biden. #Ukraine https://t.co/A9bmQxd3nL

Biden is using the same failed hashtag diplomacy that didn’t work when Obama did it. https://t.co/MA2TfnbiUo

Oh good. Hashtag diplomacy. This will work as well as getting those innocent little girls back from Boko Haram with one.
Nothing to worry about everyone, the “adults” are in charge 🙄 https://t.co/y3NAmyS4HR

You think a hashtag will scare off Russia? https://t.co/cuogs0TCuI

We stand with Ukraine!
Not too closely though.
Actually, we are going to stay here and stand on this side of the pond.
But we stand with you in spirit! https://t.co/2aeSmViXk1

Maybe Blinken’s putting together a choice new Spotify playlist just for the occasion.
Is this his real government account?
Tweeting hashtags.. 😂😆
Bruh, we’re doomed. https://t.co/naQ58iqgfj

Does the rest of the world think this is as dumb as non-Democrats do? I have to assume even more so, right? https://t.co/RcFU0BxBhd
