Elon Musk Twitter Files Dump #5 to Bari Weiss: Trump Violated No Twitter Policies

It says something when it takes a Twitter employee who lived under communism to tell native-born Americans how horrible tyranny is. It says, even more when those Americans ignore warnings not to ban the President of the United States from Twitter.

According to FOX News, “The fifth installment of Elon Musk’s ‘Twitter Files’ Monday revealed that staffers believed that tweets written by former President Donald Trump around the events of Jan. 6, 2021, had not actually violated its policies despite the company saying so at the time.”

“Weiss cited ‘dissenters’ within Twitter that did not want to ban Trump, including one who wrote, ‘Maybe because I am from China. I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.’”

Elon Musk released another dump of Twitter files. Bari Weiss tweeted, “THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES PART FIVE. THE REMOVAL OF TRUMP FROM TWITTER.”

Weiss wrote that after years of resisting “internal and external” calls “to ban Trump,” because “people should be able to see and debate” what a powerful world leader has to say. “But after January 6, as @mtaibbi and @shellenbergermd have documented, pressure grew, both inside and outside of Twitter, to ban Trump.”

Townhall’s Spencer Brown wrote, “Despite the findings of Twitter employees, executive Vijaya Gadde looked for a workaround, an excuse, to ban Trump anyway by suggesting Trump’s not-in-violation tweets were actually “coded incitement.”

A “mission statement” from 2019 contradicts what Twitter did to former President Donald Trump. Wiess tweeted, “5. ‘Our mission is to provide a forum that enables people to be informed and to engage their leaders directly,’ the company wrote in 2019. Twitter’s aim was to ‘protect the public’s right to hear from their leaders and to hold them to account.’”

Much of the Trump ban seems motivated by crybaby, radical Democrat employees who didn’t like the President. Employees tasked with evaluating Trump’s tweets “concluded that Trump had not violated Twitter’s policies.”

Looking to ban Trump for “incitement,” staffers said they “Don’t see the incitement angle here.”

Twitter kicked Trump off, anyway, emphasizing the “incitement angle.” A congressional committee is using this “angle” to bring criminal charges against Trump.
