Joe Biden’s presidential campaign called on Twitter to reject political ads placed by President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign that baselessly claim the former vice president pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating a company tied to Biden’s son, Hunter.
In a letter sent Wednesday to General Counsel Vijaya Gadde, obtained by POLITICO, Biden Campaign Manager Greg Schultz said the ad “spreads false, definitively debunked conspiracy theories” and called on Twitter to deny future attempts by the campaign to promote it.“No company should allow itself to be a tool to mislead the public on any issue, let alone on one as important as the health of our democracy,” he wrote.
Facebook said its decision is “grounded in Facebook's fundamental belief in free expression, respect for the democratic process, and the belief that, in mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is.”“It is one thing to allow President Trump the platform to spread falsehoods from his own account; it is quite another to profit from paid ads echoing the same lies,” Schultz wrote.

Hey Joe, just wait until we find out Hunter's corrupt business dealings in Romania.
Hah! Except that is exactly what he did. So, Twitter will probably do exactly what he asks.
