Washington, Jan 20 (EFE).- US President Joe Biden asked the country to reject the culture in which facts are "manipulated" and even manufactured" and called for a "fresh" start, in which politics doesn't have to be a "raging fire".CREDIT: US PRESIDENCY.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday placed the blame for the attack on the Capitol firmly at the feet of President Donald Trump. CNN reports the Kentucky Republican said on the Senate floor that Trump 'provoked' the violent insurrectionists on January 6th. The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people. US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell McConnell's comments came as the Senate prepares to hold an impeachment trial over the House's charge of 'incitement of insurrection.' He said the despite the violence, Congress did its duty by certifying the victory of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Multiple major news outlets, including Fox News, have declared former Vice President Joe Biden the projected winner of the 2020 election. However, President Donald Trump has refused to concede. He is rejecting the results, litigating in court, and is claiming there was massive voter fraud. Even so, Fox News cut off Trump spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany in a press conference on Monday, as she pushed Trump's entirely unsubstantiated claims. I can't in good countenance continue to show you this. Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto According to Business Insider, Trump has also refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power prior to Election Day.
Amid President Donald Trump's frantic tweets demanding a stop to voting, Twitter itself is being sued for not suspending Trump's account. Business Insider reports the suit comes from two national, nonpartisan organizations. They're calling for CEO Jack Dorsey to temporarily suspend Trump's Twitter account over multiple violations of the company's civic integrity policy. The president has made various tweets in the last few days including baseless claims of election fraud and prematurely declaring victory. Twitter announced well ahead of Election Day that it would add labels to tweets that included misleading content. But the joint letter states that doing so 'does not go far enough' as the results of the 2020 presidential election remain unofficial.
US President Donald Trump's fondness for Twitter has forced the social media platform to create special rules for people just like him. According to Gizmodo, Twitter has a 'world leader' exemption that means that leader can post pretty much what he or she wants, without being banned. Instead of removing the post or banning the politician, Twitter slaps a warning on the post, saying it's in the public interest for the tweet to remain. However, Twitter says the exemption only lasts for the length of time the incumbent is holding office. So if Joe Biden wins the general election, Trump may fall from Twitter's good graces on January 21st, 2021.
