Promoting the White House’s “health care bracketology” site featuring GIFs of ducks, kittens and twerking accidents-waiting-to-happen, White House Assistant Press Secretary Matt Lehrich tweeted this:

Lehrich, tired of the blowback, brought more puns:
Claws really coming out from twitter haters on my "#getcovered meow" joke. Some of the things people will say on here gives you paws.

@Lehrich44 Sorry for getting personal, but holy hell man. Do you have any idea what's going on outside of the beltway right now?
