Former President Donald Trump was banned from a host of social media accounts this past January, after using them to broadcast lies about the 2020 election—lies that incited a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol by his extremist supporters.
But though Trump may be banned from Twitter, he frequently exploits a loophole that allows him to continue blaring his deranged fantasies about a "stolen" election to anyone who will listen. That loophole is his spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, who eagerly tweets out statements from the former President on her own Twitter account.
But not only is Harrington helping Trump continue exploiting the gullibility of his followers, but she rails against anyone who won't join her in platforming these lies—even if they're part of right-wing media.
Harrington recently went on a Twitter rant decrying the conservative Fox News network for editing out a portion of Trump's recent interview with far-right Fox News host Dan Bongino.
The original interview played in its entirety on both the Fox News channel and on FoxNews.com, but portions of Trump continuing to lie about the 2020 election were cut from the interview on YouTube, in adherence to YouTube's policies.
Harrington wasn't at all pleased.
WOW. So I went to post a clip from President Trump's great interview from @FoxNews last night, and lo and behold, Fox News EDITED and CHANGED what President Trump said, censoring out 45 accurately describing the Fake Election.\n\nHere is what President Trump said:pic.twitter.com/4aNKXioky4— Liz Harrington (@Liz Harrington) 1628451791
Fox News DELETED President Trump's words: "You have a Fake Election, you have an election with voter abuse and with voter fraud like nobody has ever seen before and based on that and based on what happened they are destroying our Country..."

This is just as bad as Big Tech. They are putting President Trump's honest statement, and the concerns of tens of millions of Americans, down the Memory Hole.

This had nothing to do with @danbongino, the interview happened to be on his show. Dan is a great friend of America First.
It was @FoxNews who cut out President Trump's statement about the Fake Election, just like they have cut out coverage of election fraud ever since

Bongino quickly turned on his own network to emphasize he'd had nothing to do with editing its YouTube post.

But people were far more concerned with Harrington's continued amplification of Trump's lies than any "censorship" taking place on Fox's YouTube channel.

The layers of lunacy here are epic. \n\nThe only enduring truth of it all is that Trump is the single greatest enemy of democracy & decency and he will do everything and anything he can to take it all down in an effort to save himself from justice.https://twitter.com/reallizusa/status/1424456173063921669\u00a0\u2026— Maximillian Potter (@Maximillian Potter) 1628474035

But there were still plenty of deluded conservatives who joined her in railing against Fox News.
Wow. This is pretty crazy. They completely cut out 13 seconds of his answer. @FoxNews is the Enemy alsohttps://twitter.com/reallizusa/status/1424456173063921669\u00a0\u2026— Praying Pepemantis (@Praying Pepemantis) 1628514663
