All but the desperate Democrats know that i) Trump did not incite violence and ii) the people who entered the Capitol were largely respectful, agents provocateurs, excepted. Although they talk about the death count, the only non-medical death was sustained by a veteran who had been legally admitted and was unwise enough to push her luck with a trigger happy Capitol policeman.

However, over at Twitter, the censors who were pressing to have Trump kicked off the social media platform were frantically silencing the President’s tweets, including this one, as a precursor to outright banning him. In Part 4 of the Twitter files we see how the Twitter senior executives were coming up with justifications to deny the president a platform.
On Jan 7, senior Twitter execs:
– create justifications to ban Trump
– seek a change of policy for Trump alone, distinct from other political leaders
– express no concern for the free speech or democracy implications of a ban

Breaking: @ElonMusk @Twitter Files show Twitter activist employees, without basis, suppressed and censored the President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump in the days before the 2020 election. This is damning evidence of election interference.
