Trump attacks social media companies after Facebook bans

STERLING, Virginia (AP) — President Donald Trump criticized social media companies after Facebook banned a number of extremist figures, declaring that he was “monitoring and watching, closely!!”

Trump, who tweeted and re-tweeted complaints Friday and Saturday, said he would “monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms. ” He has previously asserted that social media companies exhibit bias against conservatives, something the companies have rejected as untrue.

The president’s comments came after Facebook this week banned Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones and other extremists, saying they violated its ban on “dangerous individuals.” The company also removed right-wing personalities Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson and Laura Loomer, along with Jones’ site, Infowars, which often posts conspiracy theories. The latest bans apply both to Facebook’s main service and to Instagram and extend to fan pages and other related accounts.

Late-Night Hosts Rip Democrat’s Barr Hearing Chicken Stunt: ‘Trump will Win Again with Stuff Like That’

Jimmy Kimmel led the late-night mocking of the Democrats’, specifically Rep. Steve Cohen’s (D-TN) use of chicken to taunt Attorney General William Barr, warning that President Donald Trump will be re-elected if they continue with such low-grade comedy.

On Thursday, Barr didn’t appear in front of the House Judiciary Committee after he and Democratic lawmakers failed to agree on terms for the hearing. In response to his no-show, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) brought a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a toy chicken to the hearing and nicknamed him “Chicken Barr.”

“I’ve been a student of government all my life; I watched the Watergate hearings from the beginning to the end,” Cohen complained. “This smacks so much of Watergate.”

“Wow, what a sick burn that is,” Kimmel said sarcastically. “Trump’s gonna win again with stuff like that, isn’t he?”

“If we can starve them of budgets and make sure they can’t do their job, then we can say the whole system should be thrown away,” she said while speaking with supporters in New York City. “I’m not going to back down from protecting the VA.”
