Sen. Kamala Harris suggested that Twitter should suspend President Trump's account after a firestorm of tweets in which he criticized the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint led to an impeachment inquiry against him.
"The president's tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up," Harris said to Anderson Cooper during a Monday interview. "His Twitter account should be suspended," she said. "There is plenty of evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people ... the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him."
The California Democrat has also leaned on her past as a state prosecutor and attorney general to present herself as a formidable opponent to Trump in 2020. "As a former prosecutor, I will tell you that my entire career has been fighting for justice and Donald Trump has clearly thought of himself — as soon as he told us he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it — as someone who thinks he is above the law," Harris said during a Nevada campaign stop last week.

Sworn to uphold the Constitution, eh, Kamala? Yes, Twitter being private is not bound by it, but you as a government official calling on Twitter to silence the President, well that's entirely different and tells us what we already know about you and your fellow RAT travelers: You'll trample our rights as fast and often as possible to suit your needs.
Justice like all those innocent people and minor offenders you sent to prison? If Black Lives Matter was ever to protest against someone it should be you.
Kommiela needs some duct tape over her yap.
The people of the USA should not be able to hear directly from their own president. Let thatsink in.
Acting in Nazi manner.
Maybe not acting at all.
NAZI.
Firat it was Biden challenging the TV networks to cut off Trump, now it is Harris stating that Trump shoud be cut off from Twitter. While neither is smart enough to be a Marxist ideologue, they both have a fascist mentality.
Nope, the right of using those words.
I truly hope they keep this up.
Amendments?
We don’t need no steenkin’ amendments!
Kamala just made the case for Twitter to ban her!
Trying to ban others from speaking is surely hateful and provocative.
Talk about freedom of speech. lol. This is exactly what they did to me in the public schools.
Don’t worry, Kamala Honey, Twitter will do exactly that — about six months before the election.
It's the Liberal way.
These people are MARXISTS. Liberals I knew were never this bad(but they were bad)
Yeah, you odious tramp Kamala. Have Trump suspended so he can’t defend himself.
These people are sick. Why would anyone vote for a person who wants to forcibly shut people up who don’t agree with them?
“Shut up”, she explained.
It’s only a matter of time before Twitter does silence the president. I’m thinking probably the last couple of months before election day. I also expect the stooge media to quit bringing any of the president’s surrogates on air to muzzle the message. The TV networks will also censor his ads.
Banning your political opponent from Twitter seems like a case of interfering in an election. The Democrats think that’s a good thing, right?
