CBS: Trump Retweets Video Falsely Claiming Ilhan Omar Danced On 9/11 Anniversary
PCCC co-founder Adam Green posted the original video -- and it was of Ilhan dancing at a Congressional Black Caucus event on September 13th!
WASHINGTON POST: Rep. Omar says Trump ‘put my life at risk’ after he retweeted a false claim that she ‘partied’ on 9/11 anniversary
Ilhan Omar Tweeted, "What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?"
SIGN THE PETITION: Twitter must suspend Trump's Twitter account until he removes his post.
Good news: The original false post that Trump retweeted has been taken down.
Horrible news: Trump's Tweet remains up, drawing eyeballs and Retweets to violence-inducing comments spurred by the now-removed Tweet. Such as:
Other comments from Trump supporters say, "Ilhan Omar is the most dangerous person to ever be elected to public office in the history of the earth" and "Which flag does @IlhanMN pledge her allegiance to?" and "She is clearly in bed with the terrorists." All based on Trump's Retweet of a clear lie.
Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, and Ayanna Pressley have joined our call with Rep. Omar for Twitter to take action. CNN's Jake Tapper, MSNBC's Chris Hayes and Zerlina Maxwell, and conservative writer Tim Miller have called out this clear misinformation.
VOX: Twitter temporarily locked McConnell’s campaign account...the decision was made because the account had tweeted content that violated its “violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety.”
CNBC: Twitter hid the video on the account, but replies from the Team Mitch account in the same thread characterizing the language in the video as “serious calls to physical violence” ...The campaign will have to remove the tweet in order to regain the ability to post on the account, according to an information page linked in place of the tweet.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
