Biden supports Twitter fact-checking Trump tweets

Published



Joe Biden said that he supports Twitter fact-checking President Trump’s tweets, particularly those propagating a conspiracy theory that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was involved in the death of a former staff member.

“I’m of the view that social media companies have to reexamine whether or not — for example, if you put something out saying that same outlandish thing that the president thinks a talk show host on a cable committed murder, I mean, you’d say, ‘There’s no evidence for that at all, zero,'” the former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said in a CNN interview on Tuesday.
