Psst, Mr. President, it's a Kamala Harris plot:

After @TeamTrump was suspended today by Twitter, a Trump Campaign spokesman said, "The Twitter employee who announced why the account was briefly suspended is also Kamala Harris’s former press secretary. Silicon Valley is hopelessly biased against the President..."

Why is crazy Nancy Pelosi who hates me and failing Kamala Harris trying to muzzle my Constitutional rights to free speech? NOT FAIR! The virus will disappear! @RealDonaldTrump

well, if the Twitter plot doesn't deliver enough outrage

Last year, Kamala Harris demanded Twitter suspend @RealDonaldTrump from Twitter in a letter to the CEO.

Today, Kamala Harris' former spokesman works for Twitter and announces why they are suspending @TeamTrump.

They aren't even hiding it anymore! https://t.co/eHY1ufbhA2

Oh I see, White House (Secret Service?) does quick results testing on everyone the President will be coming in contact with, huh whadaya know

WH testing protocols just led Ohio Gov. DeWine to learn he has the coronavirus. He was slated to greet Trump on the tarmac in Ohio today.

Note: These quick tests are designed to keep President Trump safe. But, Trump won’t say when these types of tests will be available for all.

SCOOP: Facebok employees collected evidence showing preferential treatment of right wing figures. FB policy ppl removed misinfo strikes from Breitbart, PragerU, and Diamond & Silk, according to internal docs. And FB fired a key employee who gathered info: https://t.co/W7IAcgH1GQ
