It Happened: Facebook, Twitter, & YouTube All Censor President Trump Like Never Before
Wednesday will be a day forever remembered by an entire generation. We all knew there was going to be some chaos, given the heat of the political moment. But who would’ve ever thought it would be conservatives storming the Capitol building?
Not only that, but we saw Mitch McConnell basically throw President Trump under the bus – once and for all. Vice President Mike Pence announced he wouldn’t take any measures to delay the Electoral College vote, which then prompted Trump to call out his own VP on Twitter.
All in all, it was a very bad day for America, no questions asked.
To top it off, three of the largest social media outlets on the planet decided to literally censor the most powerful man in the entire world.

Twitter has removed three of the president’s tweets, including the last two tweets…one of which contained his video and the other blamed the insurrection on what he falsely claimed was a fraudulent election. pic.twitter.com/g10tjMYmtV

Facebook says it will now remove all photos and videos posted from the protest because at this point they are promoting criminal activity https://t.co/vmctsVZJ27 pic.twitter.com/xzw63z4Q9H
