A former Obama staffer on what most politicians get wrong about using Twitter

Jon Lovett worked as a speechwriter for Hillary Clinton in the Senate and for Barack Obama in his first term as president. Earlier this year, he launched a weekly podcast, Lovett Or Leave It, where he’s joined by comedians, actors, and journalists to discuss the week’s top news. At the Now Hear This podcast festival, we spoke with Lovett about Twitter, and what most politicians get wrong about using it.
