On Tuesday, amid growing pressure to censor President Trump’s tweets deemed “conspiratorial,” Twitter slapped some of the president’s tweets with “get the facts” labels directing readers to a fact-check citing CNN and The Washington Post, both outlets that are overwhelmingly critical of Trump and overtly left-leaning.
After accusing Twitter of “interfering” with the 2020 presidential election and “stifling free speech” Tuesday, Trump escalated his response Wednesday morning, vowing to “strongly regulate” or “close down” social media platforms that “silence conservative voices.” In his response, Trump doubled down on the claim that started the fact-check battle.
