As it looked like Pennsylvania would join Georgia in flipping to a Biden lead in ballot counting, a result that if eventually confirmed would make his opponent Joe Biden the next President, Donald Trump took to Twitter to slam Twitter for its continued flagging of his tweets that the election was a fraud, tying it to his ongoing effort to regulate social media.
That came after Twitter flagged three more of his tweets overnight, all linked to video of his press conference Thursday night, in which he challenged the integrity of the election saying it was a fraud and that election officials were part of a corrupt Democratic machine, blaming "big money, big media, and big tech."
"Twitter is out of control," the President tweeted, "made possible through the government gift of Sec. 230."
