When asked about his social media plan, the White House’s digital strategy director, Rob Flaherty, joked, “All of you who follow the president or the White House may have noticed a change in tone, perhaps?”
In fact, it’s dull on purpose and meant to make the Biden socials the opposite of the Trump approach on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. “When we took over,” he said, “I think we almost thought about it as trying to be sort of strategically boring.”

Speaking to Georgetown University students, Flaherty said, “This is a president who wants to unify the country, wants to bring people together, who wants to take the temperature down” from the days of the former president’s nonstop Twitter controversies.
But not always. For example, when Biden posted a tweet in which he ripped the GOP for listening to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
“I think, at the end of the day, Marjorie Taylor Greene is indicative of a corner of the Republican Party that the president would be the first to say is not your grandfather’s Republican Party,” said Flaherty. “You know, she is a leader in the Republican Party; whether we talk about it or not, it’s important to raise that as an issue,” he added.
Even the liberal media agree. On Sunday, 60 Minutes devoted one of its segments to Greene, during which she pushed back hard against criticism from reporter Lesley Stahl.
