Trump Forced to Unblock More Twitter Users After Court Ruling

But still holding out on Rosie O’Donnell.

Donald Trump has unblocked more Twitter users after a court ruled that preventing people from reading his tweets was unconstitutional, but some—including comedian Rosie O’Donnell—still don’t have the privilege of seeing his daily online rants. A court ruled in May that blocking individuals from the presidential Twitter account violated their right to free speech, but as of mid-August, 41 accounts—including a film producer, a screenwriter, a photographer, and an author who had criticized Trump—remained blocked. Reuters says that at least half of those users have now been unblocked, but O’Donnell posted a screengrab showing she was still among those blocked by Trump. During one presidential debate, Trump was tackled by moderator Megyn Kelly about his use of language like “fat pigs,” “dogs,” and “slobs” to describe women, and he replied that was applicable for “only Rosie O’Donnell.”
