Democrats renew calls for Twitter to suspend Trump for spreading misinformation

Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday renewed calls for Twitter to suspend President Donald Trump’s personal account, which the social media company has taken steps to restrict for spreading a slew of misleading or unsubstantiated claims about the elections.

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), chair of the House antitrust subcommittee, called for Twitter to step in against Trump for “posting lies and misinformation at a breathtaking clip.” He added, “It is a threat to our democracy and should be suspended until all the votes are counted.”

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) likewise urged the social media company to “Suspend his account.” Connolly took direct issue with a Trump tweet posted earlier Wednesday that suggested his lead in key states had begun to “magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted.”

Connolly called the post “pure disinformation,” adding “This is America, not Russia.”

Just about every Tweet I've seen from him lately has a warning label on it.
