‘Should be suspended’: Kamala Harris suggests Twitter should silence Trump

Published



Sen. Kamala Harris suggested that Twitter should suspend President Trump’s account after a firestorm of tweets in which he criticized the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint led to an impeachment inquiry against him.

“The president’s tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up,” Harris said to Anderson Cooper during a Monday interview. “His Twitter account should be suspended,” she said. “There is plenty of evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people … the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him.”
