Sanders told The New York Times, “Look, you have a racist, sexist, xenophobe, pathological liar, an authoritarian, somebody who doesn’t believe in the rule of law. This is a bad news guy.” Sanders continued, “But if you’re asking me do I feel particularly comfortable that the then-president of the United States could not express his views on Twitter? I don’t feel comfortable about that.”
The Vermont senator went on to add that while Twitter shouldn’t be utilized for inciting “insurrection,” he clarified, “tomorrow it could be somebody else [getting banned] who has a very different point of view.”
