Twitter removed a video tweeted by two of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign accounts for copyright infringement Thursday, leading the president to once again accuse the social platform of censoring him.
As first reported by Politico, the video was a Trump-narrated tribute to George Floyd, the Black man killed by Minneapolis police officers last week whose death sparked massive protests across the globe. In the four-minute video, Trump calls Floyd’s death a “grave tragedy” before railing against “left-wing groups … terrorizing the innocent.”
While Twitter left up the posts, it removed the video content for copyright violation.
