"Prominent conservative Margot Cleveland, whose work has been featured in several right leaning news publications, weighed in claiming any private organization has the right to decide what speech can and cannot be featured on their platform.

'Pro Tip: Saying Twitter is violating your constitutional right to free speech or your First Amendment rights is wacko b/c Twitter ain't the government,' Cleveland wrote Wednesday morning. 'Saying Twitter is 'stifling free speech' isn't. Powerful private organizations can & do stifle speech.'"

Indeed. But the Bananarepublicans only pretend to care what the US Constitution actually says. A private website cannot impact your "right" to free speech because you don't have one there. Doh.

Trump doesn't like to lose face, does he?

The world's greatest purveyor of fake news doesn't like being labelled for what he is.

The EO will immediately produce an injunction. Twitter is permitted an opinion. Obvious First Amendment issue.
