Sean Duffy: ‘I Don’t Think that It’s Very Presidential To Be up at Night Tweeting’

‘I do think you have to have some restrictions and guide rails on how you use it’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DUFFY: "You know, Wolf, I — I don’t think that it’s very presidential to be up at night tweeting out. But I think Donald Trump, if he — if he really restructures how he uses Twitter, it can be beneficial for him. If he wants to go over the media, if he wants to go over Wolf Blitzer and talk directly to the people you talk to, he can do that by way of Twitter and push back on stories that he thinks are false. I do think you have to have some restrictions and guide rails on how you use it. But to talk about stories that are false on what’s actually happening inside the transition team and he wants to talk directly to the American people without having a press conference, I think that’s okay. And we’re — I mean, America is changing. Technology is changing. And the way that politicians and Barack Obama was brilliant at this, using the other sources of media to talk to a wide array of folks all across America I think is really powerful, in addition to coming on CNN and talking to you too. You have to use all those mediums. Donald Trump has shown how effective he is in using Twitter to push back stories or drive stories or drive the truth through his Twitter feed."
