Defense Intelligence Agency Apologizes for ‘Classy as Always, China’ Tweet

The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency apologized today for a tweet that got a little snarky with China.

There was a spat on the tarmac after President Obama flew to China yesterday for the G20 Summit. A U.S. official argued with a Chinese official about where people could go and there were no stairs ready for Obama.

The DIA ended up tweeting this out:

They quickly deleted it and apologized:

Earlier today, a tweet regarding a news article was mistakenly posted from this account & does not represent the views of DIA. We apologize.
