Trump Was Banned From Twitter Day After Michelle Obama Complained

Former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter the day after former First Lady Michelle Obama demanded the company “permanently” remove him, according to the latest “Twitter Files” installment.

On Saturday, Elon Musk released the fourth batch of Twitter documents that show internal communications by the company’s executives between Jan. 6-8, 2021, including and shortly after the riot at the Capitol Building.

“For years, Twitter had resisted calls to ban Trump,” author Michael Shellenberger and journalist Leighton Woodhouse write, quoting the executives themselves: “‘Blocking a world leader from Twitter,’ it wrote in 2018, ‘would hide important info… [and] hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.'”

Following the events of January 6, internal and external pressure on then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey began to grow, according to the report. Former first lady Michelle Obama and several other prominent individuals and groups called on Twitter to permanently ban the president.

Dorsey was vacationing in French Polynesia that week, according to the report, and phoned in to meetings, though he also delegated much of the duties handling the situation to senior executives Yoel Roth, Twitter’s Global Head of Trust and Safety, and Vijaya Gadde, head of Legal, Policy and Trust.

Prominent democrats told twitter what to do, and twitter willingly complied. Twitter destroyed freedom of speech on orders from democrats. democrats avoided being accused of violating the first amendment.

democrats ordered someone to break the law. democrats are guilty of breaking the law.

Seems the Indian woman (Vagiga) and pedophile (Roth)are the point of the spear for election interference in 2020, for which dozens of republicans said there “was no evidence of”

Someone needs to directly ask this Moochelle Chewbacca WHY did she contact Twitter to BAN a US elected President? Under what authority or level of advice to a private company did she do this?

Then ask her what her NATIONALITY is— because she thinks she can be President, this ugly ugly person.

I don’t get it, did Trump insult Michael? I don’t remember that, so why did he want him banned?

Big Mike probably threatened to thrash Jack Dorsey if he didn’t get his way.

Twitter should have told that Amazonian black grifter to pound sand.
