Donald Trump: ‘Twitter Is Now Interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election’
Breitbart ^ | 26 May 2020 | Charlie Spiering

President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Twitter of interfering in the 2020 presidential election after branding one of his tweets warning about election fraud “false.”

“Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump wrote on Twitter after the company unveiled their new fact check feature on a tweet from earlier in the morning.

Twitter included a link to his tweet urging voters to “get the facts” about mail-in voting after President Trump predicted widespread voter fraud.

.@Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post….

“They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post,” Trump wrote.

The president hinted that Twitter would face consequences for their actions.

“Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!” he wrote.

The president has frequently warned tech companies for censoring conservatives on social media and unfairly treating Republicans, but he has also tried to work with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

In April 2019, Trump met with Dorsey to discuss Twitter, thanking him for “keeping an open dialogue” about the platform.

Great meeting this afternoon at the @WhiteHouse with @Jack from @Twitter. Lots of subjects discussed regarding their platform, and the world of social media in general. Look forward to keeping an open dialogue! pic.twitter.com/QnZi579eFb

And google, and facebook, and CNN, and CBS, and NBC, and pretty much every single media outlet out there is trying to interfere with the 2020 election.

Twitter needs to prove that it is not an agent of the Rooskies, CCP, Maduro, the Castros or the CPUSA.

from another blog site :::::

All these attempts to alter the outcome of the 2020 election seem to indicate concern that the Democrat voting Bloc is becoming ‘unreliable’...

BLEXIT
Disgruntled Bernie Supporters
METOO Traitors
Sleepy Joe Biden isn’t exactly ringing any bells...and now they’re worried that when the economy improves it’ll help President Trump.

Now Twitter has gone full on China eliminating or targeting as many voices that they can...including the President.

‘Cheat by Mail’ when coupled with ‘Ballot Harvesting’ requires no one to actually vote. All it requires is the submission of enough ballots by a few individuals. Many elections are won or lost by a few thousand votes.

They noted how well Ballot Harvesting worked in California in 2018.

We know they cheated.

CHEAT BY MAIL >>>BALLOT HARVESTING

One way he could fight back is to pardon Roger Stone.

I wonder how the folks at Twitter fact-checked CNN and the Washington Post, to prove that it wasn’t them that were lying.

His main power is to revoke their platform status and declare them a "publisher." That would give them MASSIVE liability for anything people post on Twitter.

He could also have the site taken down by the FBI and DOJ for "election interference", as was down with numerous Russian-owned sites -- despite Mueller's team failing to prove anything against them in court

Maybe a legal mind can answer a couple of things. Does President Trump have a valid complaint before the Federal Elections Commission? It is against federal law to interfere in a federal election. Can people be criminally prosecuted?

When I call someone T-Mobile doesn’t block my call for content. When i mail a letter the USPS doesn’t block. My e-mails are not blocked for content. Why is it I can’t have that freedom when I use social media to post messages? They seem like public utilities to me.

They should be brought to heal by the FCC or someone because they function as monopolies or trusts. Also stifling political speech effects our elections. If google, twitter, FB and others all block conservative speech they control the elections.

Mail in voting puts ballots in the hands of postal workers before they rigged the election office. This is a group of people that generally oppose Trump.

The illegal disposal of ballots by a postal worker could not be detected. Therefore any claim that mail in voting fraud has not been approved is a moot point.

Since Trump can not ban someone from following him on Twitter (as a judge claims) by the same logic it would stand to reason that Twitter would not be able to alter the President’s tweets. Not that I necessarily believe that Trump shouldn’t be allowed to ban people from following him.

Wait till Twitter deactivates and cancels the presidents Twitter account. Now that will be interfering. See tagline. I’ve been predicting this for nearly a year.

Go get them, my president. Arrest, try, convict, sentence, and duly execute them.

Would he for once, please, do something about it and quit whining on twitter.

It looks weak, Very weak.

You don’t get Trump at all do you?

When he tweets something he’s already done something about it.
