Twitter terms Trump’s tweet as ‘glorifying violence’
Twitter took action on Friday to President Trump‘s tweet, termed his tweet as it “glorified violence,” just hours after he signed an executive order threatening to strip the company of protections against liability.
The offending tweet by Trump came in his reaction to the riots in Minneapolis. He employed a quote from a former Miami police chief who said, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
President Trump tweeted “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”
When users click on the tweet, it now reads: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
