Trump campaign accuses Twitter of 'political bias' after it fact-checks president's tweets
President Trump's reelection campaign accused Twitter of "political bias" after it added fact checks to two of his tweets regarding mail-in voting in California.
"We always knew that Silicon Valley would pull out all the stops to obstruct and interfere with President Trump getting his message through to voters. Partnering with the biased fake news media 'fact checkers' is only a smoke screen Twitter is using to try to lend their obvious political tactics some false credibility," said Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager.
The rebuke comes after Twitter slapped fact checks on tweets by Trump claiming without evidence that mail-in voting is particularly susceptible to fraud.
"These Tweets contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots," a spokesperson for the social media platform told The Hill, citing a recent blog post on misinformation policies.
