There’s barely a person in the world that doesn’t know the name of Edward Snowden because the former CIA employee is arguably one of the most divisive figures of our time.

He has been called a whistleblower, dissident, patriot, traitor and a hero for his work in leaking classified information from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013.

Snowden has joined Twitter this week and I’m certain that things are going to be quite interesting as he continues to live his life in exile while revealing details of classified United States government surveillance programs.

Naturally Snowden is a topical subject right now and HLN’s The Daily Share decided to discuss his arrival on Twitter but they chose the wrong guest to do so.

Take a look as Jon Hendren subtly works in a few gas references to the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp film which completely go over the head of host Yasmin Vossoughian.
