As Twitchy readers know, Twitter limited the Trump Team’s account from tweeting until they removed a video they claim included misinformation about COVID in children. Apparently, Trump talking about how the data shows children are not as susceptible to COVID as adults are is misinformation.
Or something.
Twitter spokesman @NickPacilio disputes the way this story reads: "No action was taken on @realdonaldtrump"
The account that violated the "COVID-19 misinformation" policy was @TeamTrump, which is being required to delete a video before it can tweet. https://t.co/2N97LEjGdG

Now, the main story here is Twitter censoring a video they claim misinforms the masses on COVID. In our humble opinion though, the bigger story is who announced there was a problem with the tweet.
@NickPacilio aka former Kamala Harris press secretary

Gosh, that seems pretty convenient, don’cha think?
Nick now can decide what the President can say apparently. Welcome to actual Nazis!

The original Tweet from @TeamTrump is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation, and we've required removal. https://t.co/fDPcEa9hRe

No wonder Kamala has made Biden’s ‘short list’ for VP. Would be a great connection for the campaign to have, right?
Wow.
This is scarier than any Russian interference cc @PolitiBunny https://t.co/IfiopiWL2p

You’re not a doctor, Nick.

So influencing elections by censoring presidential candidates is okay now?

Did @KamalaHarris make you do it Nick?

So you admit that you're interfering in the election, which we knew anyway.#GetBent2020

Every. Single. Day Joe Biden's staff tweets out garbage that is mostly misinformation. I damn well want to see Nick and others in federal court where they will face prison time for interfering in an election.

Let me get this straight. You’re Kamala Harris’ former press secretary, and you have been hired to choose what the President can and cannot post on Twitter to the American people? @RealJamesWoods
— The Magus (@asaganich) August 6, 2020
So, would this be election interference, especially if Biden picks Kamala?
Because gosh, this does seem sorta … oh we dunno, suspect?
