‘It is a Matter of Safety!’ Kamala Harris Demands Elizabeth Warren Join Her Call For Twitter to Ban Trump

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) clashed with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) over whether or not to push Twitter into banning President Donald Trump from the platform, at CNN’s Democratic debate in Ohio on Tuesday.

Given that Warren recently laughed off the notion of urging Twitter to remove Trump for violating the site’s terms of service with his posts, Harris called out her skepticism by saying that she is “surprised” the Massachusetts lawmaker disagrees on the issue.

“You did not agree, and I would urge you to join me because here we have Donald Trump, who has 65 million Twitter followers and is using that platform as the president of the United States to openly intimidate witnesses, to threaten witnesses, to obstruct justice,” Harris seethed, before adding, “This is a matter of corporate responsibility.”

“I don’t just want to push Donald Trump off Twitter. I want to push him out of the White House,” Warren shot back. “That’s our job.”

After Harris again requested that Warren “join me in saying that his Twitter account should be shut down,” Warren pivoted the discussion to focus on antitrust laws, which she argued is big tech’s real problem — not the president’s Twitter account.

“Big tech …. [is] the elephant in the room,” said Warren.

“If we’re going to talk seriously about breaking up big tech, then we should ask if people are taking money from the big tech executives,” she added.
