A progressive veterans group tweeted Tuesday that it had been blocked from Trump’s Twitter account.
President Trump is an avid user of Twitter, but it appears he’s grown selective about who can reach him via the social media site, reports Washington Examiner.
A progressive veterans group tweeted Tuesday that it had been blocked from posting to or viewing posts from Trump’s Twitter account.
The group, VoteVets, shared an image of the notice and wrote, “The Commander in Chief can block @VoteVets, the voice of 500k military veterans and families, but we will NOT be silenced.”
It remains unclear exactly what activity triggered the action, but not long before its Twitter access had been pulled, VoteVets posted a critical message about the president’s travel ban.
The group had also questioned whether Trump was in violation of the emoluments clause and expressed concern over his apparent affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
