Trump 2020 Manager Asks Facebook and Twitter to Guarantee They Won't Censor Conservative Content

By Natasha Bach May 25, 2018

President Donald Trump’s people want to ensure that social media giants Facebook and Twitter will not manipulate conservative content, hurting their chances for re-election in 2020.

Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale and RNC chair Ronna McDaniel sent a letter to Facebook and Twitter on Thursday, asking the two tech companies to work to “prevent political bias” on their platforms.

The letter, which was later made available publicly online, highlights concerns that conservative stories have been censored or suppressed, and conservative journalists blocked on the social media platforms.

It's not the fact that they're conservative that's getting them booted from Facebook and Twitter, it's the fact that they're hateful assholes that is getting them booted from Facebook and Twitter. Stop being hateful. That is the message we are sending.
