Trump Jr: ‘free speech is dead’ and ‘controlled by leftist overlords’ – Business Insider

The president was permanently banned by Twitter on Friday following his supporter’s violent and deadly insurrection at the US Capitol on Wednesday.

  • President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Saturday, complained about his father’s being banned on Twitter, inviting his followers to sign up for his email blasts in case Twitter were to ban him, too.
  • “Big tech is able to censor the President?” he wrote. “Free speech is dead & controlled by leftist overlords.”
  • For the vast majority of his presidency, Twitter allowed Trump to remain on the platform due to the newsworthiness of his posts, but he was banned Friday after his followers’ deadly attack on the US Capitol on Wednesday.
  • Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, on Saturday took to Twitter to rebuke his father’s permanent ban from the platform.

    “The world is laughing at America & Mao, Lenin, & Stalin are smiling,” Trump Jr. said in a tweet. “Big tech is able to censor the President? Free speech is dead & controlled by leftist overlords.”

    His comments Saturday echo those he made Friday, in which he said freedom of speech “no longer exists in America. It died with big tech and what’s left is only there for a chosen few.”
