Once again Twitter has got a political worker in trouble.

This time it was Liz Mair. She was set to lead the online communications for Governor Scott Walker’s presidential campaign.

She resigned late Tuesday after she was attacked by Iowa Republicans for her tweets criticizing the first caucus state. Coincidentally she also resigned just hours after the state’s GOP chairman Jeff Kauffmann told Walker he should fire her.

Some of the tweets that led to her resignation are as follows:

In other news, I see Iowa is once again embarrassing itself, and the GOP this morning. Thanks, guys.

 

The sooner we remove Iowa’s frontrunning status, the better off American politics and policy will be.

Mair later released a statement which said:

the tone of some of my tweets concerning Iowa was at odds with that which Gov. Walker has always encouraged in political discourse. . . I wish Gov. Walker and his team all the best.

After Mair resigned she bitterly went to Twitter again to let off some steam. She tweeted:

Now that I’m off payroll, there are a few things I’d like to say.

Then she went on a rampage but two of the most newsworthy tweets included:

1. The “morons” I was referring to in that 1 tweet were Ds who were feigning surprise at an Iowa family having benefited from farm subsidies.

 

For my part, yes, I’ll try to rein in the snark. I suspect, tho, that for some, that won’t be enough bc some don’t want to discuss policy.

Walker’s strategist Rick Wiley released the following statement about her resignation:

We accept those who have a variety of viewpoints on issues but what we ultimately must have is absolute respect for people across the country. Our American Revival is an organization formed to promote bold reforms across the country and we’re going to continue advocating for those ideals.
