Twitter

After the January 6 attack on the capital Twitter warned that any violations by Trump and he would be banned. Then two tweets appeared and he was banned. The first was defending others who had been banned when he said,"they will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any was, shape or form". The second was when he said, "to all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the inauguration on January 20th". Twitter interpreted this as Trump saying the election was not legitimate. The person in charge of content at Twitter was Yoel Roth. He had a history of anti Trump tweets one that occurred on Election Day in 2016 when he tweeted, " I'm just saying, we fly over those states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason". In time as more tweets came out he was force to resign. In one he suggested that people in the Trump administration were Nazis. When Kellyanne Conway appeared on Meet The Press, Roth tweeted, "Today on Meet The Press we're speaking with Joseph Goebbels about the first 100 days". When he was confronted with these past tweets he said his personal feelings did not interfere with his job.
