By Sarah D.
Donald Trump’s apparently pretty fired up tonight, and he tweeted this out to his followers:

Highly problematic, you guys.
The president's tweet is not true. No more votes are being cast, but they are allowed to be counted. Also, unless this is a reference to the Polish people or utility poles, it’s spelled “polls" pic.twitter.com/OCTmySSzsr

Clearly something must be done.
NBC News’ Ben Collins, do your thing:
We've reached out to Twitter about the president's tweets.
— Tim Onion (@oneunderscore__) November 4, 2020
Twitter has added this label to the President's tweet:
"Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
No comment yet from Twitter's spokespeople.

No comment? Not for long.
One of the biggest spreaders of misinformation on this website is trying to pressure Twitter into censoring President Trump https://t.co/RU3UiRMfgR

Looks like it worked:
We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!

Twitter is censoring the president of the United States.
These are concerning times.

It’s for our own good:

Potentially? https://t.co/TRcT0zlGzW

Of course you did. https://t.co/aK9NL71sqw
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) November 4, 2020
Of course they did.
Thanks to heroes like Ben Collins who brought this to their attention.
*snort* lol … NBC’s biggest hack(and a serial liar) is Twitter’s hall monitor https://t.co/QfqfVYAOpP

Was Trump’s tweet reckless? Yeah, you could say that. But if Twitter’s just a platform, it’s not up to them to make that decision for us.
And it’s not up to the media, either.
The purpose of journalism is to silence your enemies. https://t.co/pUqCABQWbr pic.twitter.com/fBpJJlkB84

We’ve got an idea.
