Larry Kudlow Proposes a Way to Get More People Vaccinated: Restore Trump’s Twitter Account
Fox Business Network’s Larry Kudlow said Twitter and Facebook should reactivate former President Donald Trump’s accounts so he has a platform on which to encourage people to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
Speaking on Tuesday with former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is vying for the Republican nomination to be governor of Arkansas, Kudlow said it’s time for those accounts to be reinstated.
Trump’s Twitter and Facebook accounts were suspended after the January 6 Capitol insurrection. The Twitter ban is permanent, while Facebook’s will run until 2023, at least.
Sanders, who wrote an op-ed this week encouraging Arkansans to get vaccinated, said President Joe Biden should give Trump credit for the vaccine because she said it could encourage vaccine hesitant Americans to get it.
“I think one of the things that frankly, President Biden and Vice President Harris can do to encourage people is, frankly, admit they were wrong when they cast doubt on Operation Warp Speed at the very beginning,” she said. “Give the president and his team and his administration credit for producing and helping carry through a safe and effective vaccine. I think that could make a big difference, and I’d love to see them take that step and encourage people across the country in that way. I think that’s one of the more fruitful things that could take place.”
“I think President Biden should go to President Trump and ask him to help,” said Kudlow, reiterating part of his monologue from the top of the show.
“President Trump has been out there unambiguously, ‘Get the vaccine.’ And that’s gonna help solve this temporary, I hope, delta strain. Furthermore, Sarah, I think that these media tech companies like Twitter and Facebook should put his account back in operation so he can appeal to the entire country to get the vaccination, and literally the rest of the world because everybody focuses on him. Now’s the time to do it.”
Trump has encouraged people to get vaccinated and has taken credit its development and distribution. When he received the vaccine in January, however, that fact was not disclosed publicly until March.
