“Be Careful What You Wish For”
With eight days to go in his presidency, Donald Trump visited the 45th mile of the new border wall in Reynosa-McAllen, Texas. Before speaking on the border wall that was integral to his 2016 presidential campaign, the president made a brief statement regarding the Capitol riots on January 6th that derailed congressional Republicans plans to present their objections to the 2020 election results with millions watching on television or online.
President Trump then issued this warning regarding the unprecedented big tech censorship he, social media platform Parler and thousands of other people/organizations have been subjected to in the wake of the Capitol riots:
…free speech is under assault like never before. The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me. But will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden Administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for.
The president has been banished from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube over the last few days and Parler, a social media platform launched by conservative pundit Dan Bongino, was removed from Amazon web hosting services, as well. Parler has filed suit against Amazon for breach of contract.
