“You might wonder why I get so much good information from inside Twitter,” Swisher said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.” “They’re very unhappy.”…
Swisher told “Skullduggery” that Dorsey does not want to remove Trump’s conspiracy-promoting tweets because he believes that they are newsworthy. But she said the problem with that stance is that it fails to consider the impact on Lori Klausutis’s widower. Swisher said that while she does not always enjoy the personal attacks she receives as a public figure and author, it comes with the territory — which is not true for Klausutis.
“If they want to act like a public square, let’s have a public discussion about this where we can have measured discussion and not a tweetstorm where everybody’s sending idiotic GIFs to each other and sort of topping each other and calling you a bitch or whatever the heck they want to do, I forget what I’ve been called today,” Swisher said. “Joe Scarborough’s going to be OK. … He knows the price of this kind of thing. Donald Trump knows the price of this kind of thing. This widower is not these people.”
