Kurtz on Facebook, Twitter Locking Trump Out of Accounts: ‘Pure Political Payback’

‘It’s a finger in the eye to his 88 million Twitter followers’

EXCERPT:

KURTZ: "Well, Twitter claims it’s about the glorification of violence, but maybe you could make a case for a 12-hour suspension while the Capitol riot was going on and President Trump was tweeting about a stolen election, although he also told people to go home. But for Twitter to make this a permanent ban, to continue while Donald Trump is a private citizen, seems like pure political payback against a president who fought very hard to strip legal immunity from Twitter and Facebook and other social media giants, and more importantly, it's a finger in the eye to his 88 million Twitter followers who signed up to see what he has to say."
