Democratic lawmakers have called on Twitter to suspend the account of incumbent US President Donald Trump, suggesting not to post any of his tweets until the 2020 presidential ballot has been counted. Fox News reports.
“Pause his account, @Twitter. This is pure misinformation. Valid votes are counted. This is America, not Russia, ”Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly said on Twitter.
Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline also wrote on social media that Trump's tweets on Wednesday, November 4, were “a threat to our democracy.”
A number of officials, including Democratic vice presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris, previously called on Twitter to block the US president's account.
Although the platform has previously deleted or flagged Trump's tweets as fake, his account has not yet been suspended. However, it is noted that the social media giant has tightened its policy of censuring disinformation on the eve of election day.
In the United States, the counting of votes for candidates for the presidency of the country continues. The current head of state, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden are fighting for the top post. In many states, the difference between presidential contenders is tenths of a percent.
Trump said that he suspects the enemy of rigging the votes, and demanded that they stop counting in one of the states. Both candidates created special funds to fight for the purity of the electoral procedure.
