“Twitter and @Jack are censoring this uplifting and unifying message from President Trump after the #GeorgeFloyd tragedy. The same speech the media refused to cover. Here is the YouTube link,” @TeamTrump tweeted. Twitter has also placed fact-check warnings on Trump tweets that smeared mail-in ballots as fraudulent, in addition to flagging the aforementioned “looting” tweet for glorifying violence.
