Democratic Senator Joe Manchin urged Twitter on Friday to suspend President Donald Trump's account "in the interest of our national security and public safety," after a mob of his followers stormed the U.S. Capitol this week.
"The next 12 days are critical for the preservation of our democracy. @jack, once again I urge you to suspend the @realDonaldTrump@twitter account in the interest of our national security and public safety. @TwitterSupport," the West Virginia senator wrote. Jack Dorsey (@jack) is Twitter's CEO.
