Was Michelle Obama The Force Behind Trump’s Twitter Ban?

The Twitter files continue to not disappoint!

It looks like Michelle Obama may have had a hand to play in getting President Donald Trump banned from Twitter in the first place.

According to the latest installment of the Twitter files, President Trump was banned from Twitter ONE DAY after the social media giant was pressured by Michelle Obama to “permanently” remove him.

Journalist Michael Shellenberger and Elon Musk released round four of the files on Saturday, which revealed the internal communication about removing Trump.

“Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technologies from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” said Obama on January 7th of 2020.

Former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter the day after former first lady Michelle Obama and others demanded the company “permanently” remove him, according to the newest “Twitter Files” installment.

On Saturday, CEO Elon Musk and journalist Michael Shellenberger released the fourth batch of Twitter documents that show internal communications by the company’s executives between Jan. 6-8, 2021, including and shortly after the riot at the Capitol Building.

Twitter reacts to Michelle Obama’s involvement in banning Trump:

So @MichelleObama contacted @Twitter complaining about Trump and wanted him banned.

And they did it! That’s dirty low down. I want to complain about Michelle. Ban her! @BarackObama #TwitterFiles3

Michelle Obama helped with getting Donald Trump banned from Twitter.

Apparently there is no bottom to how low this race-hustling snake in the grass will go.

Remember when Barack became a candidate for president and Michelle Obama said “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” Next thing we know she’s pushing Twitter to ban his successor from the public square.

Lol. @MichelleObama trying to cancel her husband’s political opponents while pretending to be for diversity and tolerance is peak hypocrisy.

Michelle Obama destroyed school lunches and now she wants to destroy free speech online.
