Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told The New York Times that he wasn’t comfortable with the idea that former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter back in January, at a time when Trump was still the leader of the United States. 

“Look, you have a former president in Trump, who was a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a pathological liar, an authoritarian, somebody who doesn’t believe in the rule of law. This is a bad-news guy,” Sanders told Times writer Ezra Klein. “But if you’re asking me, do I feel particularly comfortable that the then-president of the United States could not express his views on Twitter? I don’t feel comfortable about that.”
