Twitter Suspends Donald Trump Jr.’s Account for Sharing Video of Doctor Saying Hydroxychloroquine Cures COVID-19

Twitter temporarily suspended Donald Trump Jr.’s account after the president’s son tweeted a video of a group of doctors making some questionable claims about COVID-19, CNN Business reported.

The video featured doctors from a group called America’s Frontline Doctors. The group’s website advertises a White Coat Summit in Washington, D.C., on July 27 and 28, and the video in question was from a press conference associated with the summit.

Perhaps the most inflammatory claims from the press conference came from Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Houston pediatrician and religious minister who said hydroxychloroquine is both the cure and prevention for COVID-19 and called studies that say it doesn’t work “fake science.” . . .

The suspension means that Trump Jr. will be unable to tweet for 12 hours, after which point he will be granted full access to his account.

Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said the video was removed from that platform for “sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19” and that Facebook would be showing messages to people who had interacted with the video directing them to World Health Organization-approved information.
