In Harris’ own words:
“Frankly, when you look at what he’s been tweeting today, directed at the whistleblower, directed at so many people; I frankly, think that based on this and all we’ve seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress that frankly his Twitter account should be suspended.”
She then went on to state that “mechanisms” are necessary in order to “make sure that [Trump’s] words do not, in fact, harm anyone.”
The Censorship of Conservatives
Banning an individual’s account from social media is a form of censorship. Harris’ claim that Twitter should suspend the president’s account comes as many conservatives report experiences of censorship on social media platforms.
Harris is not the first leftist to call for the suspension of Trump’s Twitter account. However, much to the chagrin of Democrats, Twitter has previously indicated that they will not ban the president from using their platform.
Since Harris’ remarks on CNN, Trump has proceeded with tweeting about details regarding the aforementioned inquiry.
