Trump Weaponizes Tragedy, Twitter Looks The Other Way

Lori Klausutis was not murdered, and it is supremely cruel and selfish for Trump to reopen her family’s wounds on the national stage. Read her widower’s letter to Twitter CEO and founder, Jack Dorsey. He clearly is not interested in politics here, he just wants to protect his wife’s memory. Twitter has a responsibility to do the right thing here: as Timothy Klausutis’ letter points out, Trump violated the Twitter Rules and Terms of Service. They should delete the tweets. Not just mark them as misleading. Anything shy of removing the tweets entirely is complacency on Twitter’s part.

As pointed out on Daring Fireball, when right wing publications are calling Trump out for being “vile and unworthy of his office”, you know things are getting slimy.
