Twitter has started putting fact-check links on The Great Pumpkin's tweets &, predictably,
he's not happy about it... threatening to shut social media companies down, which of course, he can't do
It all stems from his rants about postal votes, which, somehow, in his fried cranial organ, he thinks will be abused by the Democrats & used for voter fraud, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But that's never stopped him spreading bullshit propaganda before, so Twitter have stepped in
And I love the hypocrisy... Well - I don't, but seeing this in print just makes me smile, albeit somewhat ruefully
"Further stoking the fire on the postal voting issue, Florida newspaper the Tampa Bay Times has now revealed that Trump’s press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who has been defending her boss’s attacks on postal voting, has voted by mail in every single Florida election she’s voted in.
Ms McEnany defended her and the President’s right to vote by mail when asked why everyone else shouldn’t be allowed to as well.
“Absentee voting has the word absent in it for a reason,” she told the Tampa Bay Times.
“It means you’re absent from the jurisdiction or unable to vote in person. President Trump is against the Democrat plan to politicise the coronavirus and expand mass mail-in voting without a reason, which has a high propensity for voter fraud. This is a simple distinction that the media fails to grasp,” she told the newspaper.
Florida does not have absentee voting: you can vote by post prior to election day for any reason you like, a simple distinction some in politics fail to grasp."
