Possible 2016 Presidential Candidate Spends $14,000 on Twitter Ads

Politicians have plastered their ads on every medium imaginable, from billboards to TVs – and, of course, 140-character tweets.

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton has included Twitter as a big part of his political advertising.

The Republican politician, who is apparently considering a 2016 Presidential bid, has targeted numerous keywords on Twitter to display his message.

The Washington Post documented these ads, showing that Bolton’s promoted tweets – including attack ads on Obama’s foreign policy – pop up when users search for terms like “Benghazi,” “politics,” and “GOP.”
