Women's March calls for Twitter to ban Trump's tweets

The Women's March, is calling for the suspension of President Donald Trump's Twitter account, citing Trump's obstinately optimistic claims about election results and a refusal to concede the election to Joe Biden. They've started an online campaign and email petition to Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, to remove Trump from the platform.

Rachel Carmona, executive director of the Women's March, claims Trump's tweets are obstructing a transition of power, and she wants them unviewable to the public.

"Trump went on another Twitter spree today, spewing lies to the point that virtually every tweet has a warning label. It's progress, but it's not enough. Giving Trump a platform to spread lies and delay the transition process has real consequences," Carmona said in an email to supporters.

Carmona's request comes at a time where the role of social media influence in a political conversation is the highest it's ever been. She's asking a social media platform to silence the President of the United States in the interest of persecuting views with which she disagrees.

Carmona wants Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO, to once use his influence to strong-arm the president into conceding the election. And she wants the women of the Democratic party to lean in hard in forcing him to do it.

"We must put more pressure on Twitter to suspend Trump’s account so that he has no choice but to concede and let the new Biden team access the information they need to start fixing our country and curbing the COVID-19 surge right away," Carmona wrote.
