Trump campaign draws Facebook, Twitter pushback over coronavirus video
Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday removed a video posted by the Trump campaign -- and later shared by President Trump -- that the social media giants claimed contained misinformation about the coronavirus and children’s health.
"This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation," Facebook spokeswoman Liz Bourgeois told Fox News in a statement.
In the removed video, the president told "Fox & Friends" that the nation's schools should reopen in the fall.
"My view is that schools should be open," Trump said. “If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease.”
He added that children have "much stronger immune systems" and "just don't have a problem." CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
