Washington Post issues major correction after botching Trump-Twitter post - Fox News

The Team Trump campaign account had uploaded the video on Twitter, in a post that the president later shared on his personal account.

After Twitter disabled the video, the platform further punished Team Trump by forbidding the account from tweeting until it took down the original post.

"Breaking: Twitter said it will require President Trump to remove a post containing coronavirus misinformation, banning him from tweeting until he does so," the Post began its report in bold text.

The Post then shared a quote from a Twitter spokesperson that appeared to allude to the president instead of his campaign, saying the tweet was "in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation.

Facebook and Twitter confirmed to Fox News that they took action against the videos uploaded by the Trump campaign.

A Twitter spokesperson similarly told FOX News the tweet was "in violation of the Twitter rules on COVID-19 misinformation" and that the Trump campaign would "be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again."

Trump campaign spokeswoman Courtney Parella told FOX News that President Trump was "stating a fact that children are less susceptible to the coronavirus."
