Twitter says it wont remove President Trump's tweets that include a fake conspiracy theory that the president is promoting to malign MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.

"My request is simple: Please delete these tweets," Klausutis wrote."I'm a research engineer and not a lawyer, but reviewed all of Twitter's rules and terms of service. The President's tweet that suggests that Lori was murdered without evidence and contrary to the official autopsy is a violation of Twitter's community rules and terms of service.

“We are deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family," the spokesperson said in an email."We've been working to expand existing product features and policies so we can more effectively address things like this going forward, and we hope to have those changes in place shortly."Scarborough is a regular critic of Trump and his policies. MSNBC is part of NBC News.

Twitter, once a platform that took a hands-off approach to moderating what its users tweet, has in recent years begun to crack down on some content, including

WHY?

How LOW will he go?

hahahahaha msnbc is such a joke, the entire on air staff have great faces for radio

Bad hair day don?

?

So this is proof that this network doesn’t care about us!

Fake president. Fake conspiracies. Twitter is fake news.

Remove Trump from Twitter!

They didnt remove any of the russian conspiracy tweets from Schiff and the likes. Hmmm

So anyone can suggest trump was involved with a murder on twitter and get away with it?

Why Not

Shame on you twitter

Twitter is scandalous. I unfollowed trump.

Knowing nothing about this issue BUT turn about is fair play. Scarborough has made up so much and spun stories so far out of context. He should be sued by the President. This non reporting opinion only bull shit is getting old. Propaganda,not reporting. Scarborough and MSNBC SUCK

Maybe a note to remind readers that it's a despicable lie by an impotent little man.

Dear Twitter; 🖕

The trolls don’t like the letter I see. Poor trolls

YpsiGal Bad move, Jack. Trump weaponizes lies to wreak havoc. You should rethink this.

Check this out.

Well there's a surprise.... what did we really expect

Every day for 2 1/2 years Joe and Mika have accused Trump of Treason, of Having Blood on his Hands, of being Insane. Pay back’s a Bitch!

So, if every single one of us tweets out a similar tweet about tRump, would we all get kicked off. I could tweet something horrific that I want to do to that 💩 stain. Reference to Lincoln perhaps? He did say he is treated worse than Lincoln. DoToTrumpWhatWasDoneToLincoln 😉

MSNBC are burying the lede... the real story is that Trump sees a well-spoken conservative on TV with a wholesome nickname like Morning Joe and sees a future political rival to attack. Are you (MSNBC) aware of your position here?

That, s ok we all know he s a asshole

So the ‘A’hole in the White House now has control over Twitter!!! VERY SAD!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!

I guess jack and Twitter is as afraid of trump as is the gop.

Shame on the handlers of Twitter! Blatant disregard for their own standards. Guess that means the rest of us are allowed to post whatever we want as well.

So, the B.S. continues. . A typical day of realDonaldTrump accomplishments in the WH.

Fake. Lols.

That’s okay. He will sue the shit out of trump after he loses the election. There will be lots of defamation lawsuits!!!

They better not!!!

Pitiful move on Twitter’s part‼️

PuestoLoco and yet, here we are, all still tweeting [sigh]

Maybe it doesnt break twitters Terms of use

KEEP ORANGE 🍊 DUDE TALKING/TWEETING 24/7! I want the WORLD to CONTINUE to SEE how CRAZY that NARCISSITIC /SOCIOPATHIC MOFO is! He will have a new OUTRAGEOUS CORONA therapy:vaccine tomorrow! Hopefully he will TALK/TWEET himself OUT of office! KEEP that thing TALKING !.

Good because I would be PISSED. We all know that MSNBC is incapable of telling us the truth. The one that needs to be removed from Twitter is you all and your buddy Joe Scarborough is going to be proven guilty for murder. Sad that you all support such evil.

Currently, I think it's better he has a Twitter account, because he just alienates smart people or those who pay attention,&continues to make 🐘s a permanent minority, & the next focus has to be on eliminating voter fraud,&all votes are counted&as equal,so there's a point to vote

Freedom of speech.

Wish Twitter would remove Trump and all his accounts for their hateful, divisive remarks but then Twitter is a fan of Trump.

Why not? Is Twitter for Trump? Maybe I should stop following Twitter then.

If you won’t remove them, how about going through them and marking: true or untrue. Lie or not lie. So folks know what he is doing.

So now what?

Because Jack knows the President has a huge following and cares more about how it will affect his stock price instead of simply just doing the decent thing. Anyone who thought Dorsey would do the right thing has not been paying attention. I, for one, am not at all surprised.

Has MSNBC ever promoted “fake conspiracy theories” to malign Trump?

Joe should sue Trump for libel.

go back to what Joe said on Imus and its known he was having an affair with her. Should the President be tweeting on this....I support him....but no he should not.

Are you also expecting them to turn down Russian money!

The shock 😴...

I’m tired...the NBC family of networks should stop all live “pressers” from this administration. Record and edit; Hell even when you play his words live he and his call you fake....SO.....what do you have to lose?

well hell. How long did your outfit run the fake russian collusion story? Clearly lookint to undermine POTUS. So why are you running this story so hard? DO you know something we dont? Do you have evidence that we should seek?

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Who will stand up to the despicable orange coward ? the Lies are getting more frequent , the insults , name calling ridiculous , the blame & bragging is childish .

Corruption even on Twitter! So sad! Is this where our Country has become, total Corruption because they side with the Man in the Whitehouse, what happened to Morals!

Obama spied on the Trump campaign. That used to be a conspiracy as well

What the hell? That fool truly gets away with anything. He is the single most dishonest person, that I have ever known of. He needs to go!!!! impeachagain. VoteBlue VoteBidenToSaveAmerica vote2020Biden

Trump should be liable for his actions. If we can take down a cult in Waco for the act of violence. Why not a president who acts in the same measures on his own people? As citizens in this great nation, shouldn't we be protected from a president whos gone rouge? He was impeached.

It should.

If Twitter remove Trump that would be the end of free speech on the platform and its demise. Twitter is about the 💩talk and without it - its an echo chamber - BORING

So afraid. FB, Twitter boycott

Shame on Twitter

Let's count all the lying tweets from Joe, Mika and the rest of the media. You get what you give.

WE LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and our freedom of speech is protected under the first amendment. President Trump is only posing questions as the the death of Lori K and asking if the cold case should be re-opened. Lori died of a mysterious death.. no conspiracy there.

It’s all a “conspiracy theory”until it’s not obamagate spygate JoeScarborough

I don’t think Donald Trump is going to damage Joe Scarborough when it comes to his audience. These slanderous and outrageous comments by Trump are for Tump’s audience only.

So Trump can spread misinformation like so many Russian trolls do, but he doesn't get penalized because he's a troll that happens to be the president? Got it. 🤦‍♂️🙄

Only reason I can make for not pulling those tweets is so historians will have a record of how sick and demented Trump as a president is/was. IRT time, no positive value. DJT's tweets document his war against majority of citizens. Is a new type of treason against the people.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Do people actually read his tweets 🙄

What a liar Trump is! He knows what he's saying is a lie ! This is a tactic Roy Cohen taught him. To distract by lying. It work for a while for Joe McCarthy. And we know what happened to him. We all hope it will happen to Trump!

Shame on you!

NBCNightlyNews Why not, the cowards. You take down everyone else's for lying, trump should be held to a higher standard than anyone. But oh yeah it is a money thing, twitter is full of trump cowards just like Twitter executives

They don’t remove nbc fake shit either

NBCNightlyNews My only explanation is to show how batsh!t crazy realDonaldTrump is. So, bravo for that 👏🏼

Considering how many tweets they’ve removed from the media because they contained false and inflammatory information...hm, guess their consistent for once, lol

Why should they I totally agree with Trump on Joe Scarborough. Morning Joe has gone down the toilet. And Scarborough is no conservative. He is a Biased Trump hater. He also lost his way with Mika. The two are the saddest people on TV

Twitter how biased r u......u let this corrupt pos say and do what he likes because he pays u....but all of us lil ants get barred for saying the word f ..... it is criminal and so not fair.....u allow a racist to incite hate violence and racism ..spread fake accusations wtf

Maybe it's not fake enough?

Why? Just because it is Trump? Then they should change the rules for EVERYONE!! Twitter should not discriminate, and Trump should not be above the rules. No favoritism Twitter!!

If Twitter had any decency they would take them down

I got kicked off the platform by politely suggesting a certain “someone” have a heart attack!🤷🏼‍♂️

It seems as if twitter and POTUS have a serious partnership.

LindaFahyJordan SHAME ON TWITTER. They block people from use for far less than this.

It's not FAKE!

Time to start some conspiracies about realDonaldTrump ... oh wait, I can’t get more depraved than what he’s actually done 🤷‍♂️

If Twitter removes the President’s tweet because one person says it’s a “conspiracy” without proof, Twitter will have to shut down.. Everyone that has put Russia Conspiracy that has been debunked will be removed.. as well as all the other hoaxes that have been debunked..

joe biden says no pardon issued to djt by his adm after the election/.let the crimes suffer his actions by all this gop djt adm & cabinet/. are you worried djt? probably not u think u are above any of our laws or courts/.

We should stop posting for a day we the people have the power to do this !

Never Forget!!

They’d have to delete half of trumps tweets just to be fair to others he has maligned!

Twitter bears a responsibility to it's followers to inform them of the facts. When untruthful Tweets such as the President's latest Tweet with malice directed at Joe Scarborough harms the innocent Twitter bears the same burden of malice toward the victim.

Go after Twitter! False info must be taken down. Twitter is negligent to post false, unfounded info of any kind!

This is complete bullshit!! I have been kicked off for much less. The freakin kumquat is dredging this family through so much pain all over again. The families themselves have asked for this, it was investigated, found to be an accident. Allow them to grieve!!

I wonder if this is a policy of acceptance - or if is a policy of let the idiot dig his own grave deeper and wider. Or maybe it’s a Twitter policy of neglect directed at it’s own policies and procedures.

Trump must provide proof of all of his assertions. Failing to do that he's doing nothing more than spreading scandalous lies. How is this presidential business? Why is he personally worried about anything like this? He should be doing the business of the United States!

Substitute the name Don Jr for Joe Scarborough and the entire MSM would be foaming at the mouth. Democrats would be screaming for never ending investigations. But it's a trump hater so nothing to see here, move along.

Why What the hell are you afraid of!!Trump's retaliation 😡😡

NBCNightlyNews Congress needs to harshly regulate social media ... new talking point on the campaign trail demanding people running for Congress are committed to make twitter, facebook, et al, wish they had been more cooperative.

That's fucked up. They block less than that for most people.

Tweet is piracy a crime of who owns what intellectual property and it ain't jack & ant Dorsey

Twitter will remove people for lesser stuff, but this asshole gets away with cyberbullying. I guess their TOS is for everyone else but the Toddler in Chief has his own TakeTrumpOffTwitter bebestisajoke GOPConspiracycrazyparty

NBC has called a many things conspiracy theories that ended up being true. Trump has been vindicated on some of his wildest claims. Perhaps NBC, in the name of journalism integrity, could use words like unproven instead of fake? Maybe then the public would trust the news again.

Shame on Twitter. Guess they’re afraid of him too.

Screw POTUS

BOYCOTT TWITTER! Disgusting behavior by Trump and Twitter. Twitter will not reprimand Trump because his irrational tweets bring controversy, advertisement and money.

You’re a joke twitter and rife with hypocrisy. You discipline and ban users who allegedly commit one tenth of what trump does. Your CEO is afraid of trump & his cult followers. 🐓

Who says it's a fake conspiracy theory? Can you prove it?

This needs to end! Help CT NOW

Why not, fake is fake.

Of course not. But anyone else gets shutdown. What a joke.

How do we make TWITTER PAY....

That’s because Twitter and the CEO of Twitter is a white nationalist organization.

Jack Dorsey is as soulless as trump. No compassion whatsoever. They are lying sons of bi-ches.

They are afraid of the negative consequences.

Wow. I got in Twitter prison for suggesting two white men who slaughtered a black man should suffer a punishment that involves a park, a rope and a tree. Does anybody care that trump and pence don’t wear masks?

jcurtis28203 So, Trump can lie, deny, deflect, distract without repercussions? Welcome to the Republicans Senate impeachment scam.

When Trump has nothing on you he invents a convoluted conspiracy theory, without any proof, and his followers buy it. It's amusing to see.

But how did that young woman happen to die in JoeScarborough s office?

Off course not, Twitter ceo republican? Trump owns him!

Twitter spent 3 years publishing NBC News' Trump fake conspiracies so it would be hypocritical to remove Trump's tweets.

Twitter this is awful! I hope everyone reports these disgusting tweets from the impeached President

Shame on twitter & jack. They're knowingly allowing lies to be told & by the person who is supposed to be the leader of our country. He's killing people with his crackpot theories on what 'cures' COVID and now he's dragging a family's accidental death for pure pleasure.

Then Twitter you are part of the problem

wow...Glad Twitter is not the DOJ. Trump is right. he could shoot someone and NOT BE GUILTY. ABOVE the law and TWITTER rules. SAD DAY..

What if any one of us started to trend a false conspiracy theory about realDonaldTrump? Are we allowed to do that without our accounts being suspended

Make Scarborough take a polygraph test if its so fake!!!

Will Traitor Trump and his trash cult be in open rebellion on ElectionDay or Inauguration day.. Asking for millions of patriots ready to defend our nation against the emotionally and intellectually damaged trash cult 45 has cultivated.

Than what happened to twitter flagging things that were bullshit?

That’s because they would have to delete all of CNN’s, every other media outlet and democrats fakenews tweets as well.

Jack is a sellout

MSNBC can Spew Conspiracy Theories but ironically CRIES Foul when it’s about their own Theorists !!! Hilarious Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Twitter Not okay, Twitter. Hold everyone to the same standards. He should not be allowed a forum for hate speech and bullying just because he's the POTUS.

They haven't removed Mourning Joe's conspiracy theories against President Trump, why should they remove Trumps against 'Intern Joe'?

You mean to protect little old MSNBC and Joe Scarborough?

So like... Maybe the muh freeze peach people can stfu now

A fake conspiracy theory... well that settles it. NBC tells us its nothing. Move along.

Because it's not fake or a conspiracy.

How predictable. Let the mooch get away with anything. That’s why we’re here. Right now. 100k dead and more dying. Republicans had a chance to get rid of him. But they all played the coward card. I will never vote a republican into office again. NEVER!

Who says its fake?

Are you trying to cover something up?

Twitter didn't you promise to remove political tweets that were out and out lies? Shame on him and Shame on YOU!

Than twitter is no better than Trump. They're evil and corrupt like Trump. He probably has stock in them.

fakepresident

Joe should sue them both

DeepState is Dorsey

TwitterSupport Cowards

Of course not because this disgusting person is NEVER held accountable for anything he does. Disgraceful.

pathetic

Scarborough does it all the time to Trump. Fake NBC it works both ways.

twiiter shame on you

Cowards

Because they know it’s not Fake. They have facts and testimony to back it up.

I got suspended for saying someone choked on book profits...SMH.

Of course not, he has Twitter and Facebook in his back pocket. If anyone has not seen The Great Hack on Netflix you need to watch it. It’s real, not fake and a bit disturbing. TheGreatHack Netflix TakeTrumpOffTwitter TuesdayThoughts TheGuardian

Fake?

What is wrong with Twitter? Have they no decency?

I hope every last deranged tweet can and will be used against him in court.

Twitter jack Your decision is SHAMEFUL! That's how Dictators like Hitler took power & impose their regimes ! SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer RepAdamSchiff USATODAY latimes nytimes maddow SRuhle WSJ CNN CBSNews morningmika maddow SRuhle DavidWestin flacqua

Now that conspiracy theories are ok Trump & Barr had Epstein killed. Barr was one of the last people to see him alive. Trump raped his wife & a 14 y/o girl. Trump is a drug head. I hope he increases his dosage of Hydroxyxhlorquine & takes an eternal dirt nap. All good Twitter?

saltyjbk such a snowflake, or is it snowFAKE

Wasn't joe boning mika while they were both married? Can we malign him for that?

of course not, Twitter sanctions Trump's hatefulconduct but suspends other accounts for nonsense. Why the double standards?

I take it that twitter is just plain chicken shit, they are scared of this President. I'm sure he could do or say anything he wants and they would take down anything he says.

Can you imagine...? Then Twitter would have to remove all of the conspiracy theories from MSNBC. And the lies. And the misrepresentations. Hooboy, they might as well just delete MSNBC.

The world needs realize that if realDonaldTrump mouth is moving then he is lying. If he tweets means the same.

Good they won't remove the lies from the dems soooo

Unacceptable. jack Trump should be held to the same standards as everybody else

Would a 'fake conspiracy theory' be an actual reality? Help me understand your grammar 😉.

Twitter has become a propaganda machine

Yay! Why don’t Joe and Mika delete all their conspiracy theories about Trump?

Shame in you, Twitter........

What about all YOUR tweets about the Rusdian collusion conspiracy theory? You going to remove those?

Chump and his followers are beyond deplorable, they are worthless...

Cowards!

jack this is shameful.

If they can do this to the president imagine what can they do to you ...

What amazes me is how Scarborough's past fellow House members who stay SILENT They are so terrified of Trump or losing RNC $$ they tolerate vile behaviors of 'anything' to get re-elected by Trump Do you want to be in a foxhole with those who are so afraid of a reality TV star?

NBCNightlyNews Does that mean Twitter is in the president’s payroll? Or wants to be sued as a party to slander and harm to the childrenme ruined in the letter? Wondering in letters.

then someone is going to make a LOT of money from Twitter for slander

twitter and Trump known for spreading falsehoods and lies

NBCNightlyNews Shame on Twitter

TwittersUpTrumpsAss.

IAmSophiaNelson Scarborough could force Twitter to do it if he'd only sue Twitter's CEO. If Scarborough doesn't care enough why should anyone else care about this?

NBCNightlyNews o k friends let's protest all at once twitter take the tweet down

Twitter is Facebook with more vile and contempt.

Shame on you Twitter ‼️🤬🤬🤬

tRumpdeath

So news investigated, dug into all files, reports and can 100% say its a conspiracy theory? Like when he stated he was wire tapped, like him being accused of Russian agent. YOU'RE 100% FACTUAL sure this is a conspiracy theory?

Can we do this then? Just asking

Disgusting that he gets to do whatever he wants.

What this one?

Maybe the rest of us to remove Twitter

You mean like Russia? 🤷🏻‍♂️

jack money before ethics.

Jack is in Trump pockets.

Twitter is endorsing the mental torture of a family that lost a loved one.

TheLiberalLeona 🖕🏻 realDonaldTrump

BoycottTwitter

The only way you stop this is opening up these companies to litigation from victims and their families. Money is the only thing they care about so hit them in the wallet.

Why? He is not above the law not only slander but he is mocking the family of the late lady. Take his account off. What are you so scared of.

So Twitter has bought into Animal Farm.

The intern was murdered. That part is not fake.

Her family should sue Twitter.

Twitter..... I starting to be part of the problem n not the solution

Cowards

Cowards

What about the women trump raped?

Wow. But if I tell Trump to GTH I get the ban.

Shame on Twitter... Do what’s right. Be fair...You’ve removed me for far less...

Twitter won’t autoban neo-Nazis because the filters may ban GOP politicians

aliettejonkers On the other hand: thanks to Twitter we know exactly what a piece of shit this so called president is.

Or this...

jack loves Trump. Know this.

jack, SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT ACTING IMMEDIATELY! You are less than human by allowing the Klausutis & Bolterstein families to suffer from the false and cruel tweets of a monster!

Man it is so much worse when the shoe is on the other foot. Good job Donny it is payback time

“Have you no decency?” Moment for a Republican leadership.

Raise your hand if you have heard this conspiracy before Trump ever mentioned it. 🖐️

Fake conspiracy theory? We’ll see about that.

If anyone deserves “maligning” it’s Joe Scarborough. A Republican turned Democrat turned whatever to promote his image. Sleazeball

President Trump is simply telling what happened. Why don't you report on why Scarborough just after being re elected to Congress decides to resign saying that he can do more on his radio show

This is insanity😡😡
