Trump targets individual Twitter employee with threats, on Twitter

Donald Trump is threatening a Twitter employee, on Twitter, just after Jack Dorsey tweeted to leave his employees out of this. The drama continues.

Here's the tweet.

Quite a twofer. Disinformation about a civic event, voting, and also using the power of the presidency to harness mob wrath against a single employee of a platform that had the audacity to point out that a lie about "voter fraud" is a lie.

This tweet by part-time Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey last night wasn't very effective against a professional troll.

Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and thats me. Please leave our employees out of this. Well continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.

Just a reminder that Twitter didnt censor or limit Trumps tweet.

They just added a little note saying heres some more information.

The nuclear response from WH should tell you something about Trumps campaign strategy.

Wow. Trump is now calling out the same Twitter employee that Kellyanne Conway called out yesterday.
