Twitter Users Threaten To Sue Donald Trump For Blocking Them

A legal group called the Knight First
Amendment Institute has threatened to sue
President Donald Trump for blocking those
who are mocking him on Twitter.



In a letter sent to the Presidency on
Tuesday, the Knight First Amendment
Institute at Columbia University condemned
Trump’s action and argued that his Twitter
account was a public forum, and banning
users from viewing or engaging with his
tweets suppresses free speech. Lol.



What
nonsense!
‘The President must not be allowed to
banish views from public discourse simply
because he finds them objectionable,”
writes Knight Institute executive director
Jameel Jaffer.



“Having opened this forum to all comers,
the President can’t exclude people from it
merely because he dislikes what they’re
saying.”


In the letter, the Knight Institute also cited
the cases of Holly O’Reilly and Joseph M.
Papp, two Twitter users who were blocked
from Trump’s @RealDonaldTrump account
for mocking the president.



According to Holly O’Reilly in a column for
The Washington Post, he denied using fowl
language against the President.



'Did I make death threats against him? Did I
use foul language or threaten his family?
No, of course not. I told him that the pope
looked at him funny," Holly wrote
