McDonald’s was either hacked or someone is going to be fired over this now deleted tweet, that’s for sure:
I always wonder if these are the social media staffer being fired – or quitting in a blaze of glory. https://t.co/QdmQL2mvox pic.twitter.com/aaDYZXJAGQ

Before it was deleted, many folks had something to say. Including blames former Obama spox Robert Gibbs who now works for McDonald’s:

We’ll update this post as soon as we learn more.
