State Department mocked for 'bizarre' promotion of Antony Blinken's Spotify playlist: 'Humiliating'
Fox News
Critics mocked the State Department for its "bizarre" promotion of Secretary of State Antony Blinken's Spotify playlist, which it repeatedly tweeted and retweeted about between Dec. 10 and Jan. 2.
"Have you heard the news? [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] is now on [Spotify]! Check out his latest recommended playlist, listen to some tunes from around the world, and follow the Secretary here: ow.ly/5LW350H8oVA," each of the tweets read.
The odd repetition of the same tweet was first noted in December by Abigail Marone, press secretary for Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who questioned the State Department's priorities amid the fallout from the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and the ongoing efforts to extract Americans still trapped in the Taliban controlled nation.
