President Donald Trump threatened on May 27 that he would shutter social media sites the day after Twitter, for the first time, fact-checked two of his tweets.
The tweets, specifically, were erroneous claims about supposed widespread mail-in voting fraud. “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices,” Trump, 73, wrote, not naming the platforms. “We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.
We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country.
