'The next 12 days are critical for the preservation of our democracy,' Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, tweeted.

and Instagram made the correct decision in banning President Trump for at least the remainder of his term, and I will continue to urge Twitter and other platforms to do the same."

"This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets.

These Republicans are not asking for unity. They are requesting capitulation to a deeply unwell and volatile man. That will not heal or unify anything. Before you can have unity you must have accountability.

SethAbramson They need to suspend parler and OANN

FUCKOFF!

While manchin says no to $2k

Give the man whatever he wants, he's got his finger on the button that makes good things happen.

TamaraRNik What they say and what they do are never the same.

As much as I appreciate this attempt at keeping us safe, it is not the private sector’s job to keep up safe from our own President. It is the Congress’, and the Dept of JUSTICE, and maybe even the department of defense. Where is the NSA?!

Sorry, Sen_JoeManchin Joe_ too little too late

Pretty brave for a Republican

I'm asking Twitter to suspend Manchin's account over 'public poverty' concerns.

What in the world is jack waiting for? This is no longer funny! TedCruzKilledaCop

kenjeong Way too late. His announcement of not attending is a flag for his kind to attack

This guys a Republican. Just change party

Pass the 2k stimmy then we'll talk

I agree and keep asking them also.

Manchin: No $2000 checks for West Virginians (Ranked 50th on Income levels) But Twitter, can you suspend Trump's account again?

kenjeong TakeTrumpNuclearCodesNow

Seriously - what a piece of crap who does not care if constituents starve to death or become homeless. ManchinResignNow

kenjeong Well he ain't wrong. I get suspended just for defending myself against transphobic hate comments & death threats but he can start war on our nation's capitol and go unpunished. Unbelievable.

Hey Joe! How 'bout some 25thAmmendment or Impeachment! Maybe let law enforce behavior rather than setting a precedent for big business to censor our speech?

kenjeong What about black Federal officer killed by antifa/blm at Sacramento Federal building. Who lost their twitter rights? I'll wait 🤔🤔

Nan10 Didn't we also get an absolute 'no' on $2000 stimulus checks from him just now? The man is sick.

kenjeong So he's more worried about getting Trump banned from Twitter than he is about getting money to people who are starving or losing their homes.

Remove him too!

SethAbramson What's the opposite of the NobelPeacePrize-? The anti-Peace Prize-?

SethAbramson They don’t let foreign terrorists tweet, why is this any different?

Does anyone have that Captain Obvious GIF?
