President of the Democratic Caucus of the House, Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.), warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump “may be in the Twitter penalty box” but still has access to nuclear codes after the deadly siege by pro-Trump supporters on the United States Capitol. week.
“The goal at the moment is to address the existential threat that Donald Trump poses at this time,” said Jeffries on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program. “Every second, every minute, every hour that Donald Trump remains in office poses a danger to the American people. You know, Donald Trump may be in Twitter’s penalty box, but he still has access to the nuclear codes. That’s a perspective scary. ”
Twitter permanently suspended Trump’s personal account @realDonaldTrump on Friday, arguing that its use represented an unacceptable risk of violence – two days after his supporters revolted on Capitol Hill. The social media giant has also permanently suspended the official White House account @POTUS.
