Twitter on Tuesday began “fact-checking” President Trump’s tweets but let elected representatives of the U.S. Congress claim that the president’s campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 elections for three years.
Jack Dorsey, the founder and CEO of Twitter, said Wednesday evening that the company’s intention is to “connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves.”
However, for three years — throughout 2017, 2018, and 2019 — Democrat members of Congress stated as fact on Twitter that they had evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, which fueled the leftist narrative that the election was illegitimate.
Their claims were “in dispute” by other members of Congress, as well as members of the Trump administration and the president, but Twitter never flagged them as such, as it did with Trump’s recent tweets.
On April 21, 2019, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) tweeted that special counsel Robert Mueller “did find evidence of collusion.”
In fact, Mueller’s report — released three days before — said that since collusion was not a legal term, his team looked for any conspiracy or coordination with Russia and did not find any.
It said, “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
However, there was no Twitter “fact check” for Schiff.

I feel sorry for the people who have no understanding of FREE SPEECH . Our kids today are not taught as we were time that changes and we need to do it. This is a travesty and it is up to us to stop it.
STOP ELECTING THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AND OVER....................................... OR THIS IS WHAT U GET.
DORSEY AND HIS TWITTER COMPANY SUCK!! THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN "LIBERTURDS IN DISGUISE"!! THEY STILL BELIEVE THE ROTTEN, LYING, KENYAN, HALF-BREED, PRETENDER-IN-CHIEF IS STILL IN POWER! THE ARE ALL "CLASSIC BASTARDS"!!
When news is printed today it has no relationship with the concept known as Freedom of Speech. I grew up speaking freely until I was four years old. After my mother washed my mouth with an Ivory soap bar for swearing like my father, It immediately became apparent to me, that Freedom of Speech did not mean I could say anything I wanted and there were consequences to how I interpreted what Freedom of Speech really means. Freedom of Speech translates to freedom to speak truthfully. If you can"t do that you need to eat soap!
Hard to even imagine there are still some people, apparently, who don't yet fully understand that the current breed of liberal democrats will say anything, do anything, without the slightest compunction... with no real concern for this country. They pretend, but it's all about their money and ambitions and how they might look to their associates and constituents. I see them all as living in a ridiculous fantasy world and think nothing of lying and cheating their way into what they think will be a far better place - which means they are also stupid because the historical evidences against socialism, for example, are everywhere to be seen. Lies and cheats are now their only methods and because of their refusal to get real or to live up to the standards they pretend to have, i wouldn't vote one into any position. Ever. I believe and hope millions of conservatives feel the same.
