White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer’s power apparently went out in his home Thursday night, and instead of using his presumed direct line to the president to fix the problem, he took to the communication mode of the masses: Twitter.
After a nearby coffee shop in the Logan Circle neighbohood of D.C. tweeted that their power was back up, Pfeiffer responded saying that his was still down and he couldn’t get a response from the city’s electricity provider, Pepco. He tweeted Pepco’s account and the company subsequently tweeted back asking him for his information.
It was not immediatelly clear whether Pfeiffer’s electricty was swiftly restored.
@thecoffeebardc is your power back on? I live on the other side of 12th st and couldnt get an answer from @pepcoconnect
