Amid the criticism, Mr. Leavitt has continued to tweet.

Nevertheless, he persisted!!!

I truly didn’t think I would learn anything by reading this article about the man who did the bad tweet, but I did! He’s a paid spokesbrander/brandfluencer, or as Katherine Rosman puts it, “a cog in the wheel of the gig economy.” Shivers.
