We’re deeply alarmed, John.
Today, Trump tweeted that he wants to delay the 2020 Election.
Trump is clearly intent on doing whatever it takes to cling onto power — even if that means spreading false information about the election and our ability to vote. He is gaslighting us by pretending to care about people staying safe and healthy while voting. No surprise coming from the man who tried to prevent vote by mail, saying it leads to fraud, while he and his cronies cast their own mail in votes from the privacy of their mansions.
We must condemn this unconstitutional power grab and put an end to Trump’s misinformation agenda. That’s why we’re asking Twitter to shutdown Trump’s account and stop giving him a platform to share dangerous lies about the election.
For too long, companies like Twitter have given Trump and his friends a free platform to deceive the public with no accountability. From giving false medical advice about COVID-19, to now spreading lies about our ability to vote this election — there are real and dangerous consequences to Trump’s tweets.
Remember John: misinformation on social media is a key reason why Trump won in 2016 and why he’s been able to mislead his supporter base for so long. Just this week, his son was suspended from Twitter for spreading misinformation. If we don’t take action to remove Trump from Twitter, we risk making the same mistakes all over again and suffering another four years under Trump.
At this point, Trump thinks he can get away with anything on Twitter. He isn’t even trying to make it a secret anymore: he’s openly working to squash our democracy and scheming to make his authoritarian fever dream a reality. The consequences of giving his corrupt intentions a platform could not be more apparent.
