Michelle Obama Pressured Twitter To Ban Trump: Twitter Files

The release Saturday of a forth patch of internal email document appears to show former first lady Michelle Obama's pressing Twitter the day after the Jan. 6 riot to ban then-President Trump.

  • “Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms ,” Michelle Obama said Jan. 7, 2021, according to the the most recent Twitter file download, on Jan. 7, 2021.
  • In her message to Twitter, Obama falsely claimed that the BLM riots of 2020 were “peaceful protests.”
  • “Seeing the gulf between the responses to yesterday’s riot and this summer’s peaceful protests and the larger movement for racial justice is so painful,” she wrote. “It hurts.”
  • The BLM riots of 2020 caused upwards of 30 deaths, multiple injuries, and over 1 billion dollars in damage.
  • In October of 2020, Michelle Obama said Trump was racist for pointing out the violence of the BLM riots.
