Eric Trump Calls for Supreme Court to Intervene in Diamond & Silk’s Social Media ‘Censorship’

Eric Trump is doing his part to advance the big conservative message of the week that social media companies are deliberately censoring conservatives, and it’s getting sillier (and stupider) by the day.

Following on the heels of Devin Nunes’ Twitter lawsuit on Monday and Donald’s promise to “do something” about the issue in response to a question from a Daily Caller reporter on Tuesday, the younger Trump opened Wednesday by telling the crew of Fox & Friends that the Supreme Court should take up the pressing issue of YouTube taking down Diamond and Silk videos.

“Diamond and Silk, two of the nicest human beings in the world, getting kicked off YouTube on a daily basis. They post funny but yet benign videos,” Trump ranted to the Fox & Friends host about the duo and superfans of the president, who also have a weekly show on Fox News’ streaming service.

Trump provided no evidence that YouTube is removing their videos daily, nor did he offer any explanations that YouTube might have given for doing so.

To be clear, last year several outlets reported that Diamond & Silk’s claims of social-media censorship were a “hoax.” The duo’s latest video was posted to YouTube 12 hours ago.

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade added: “Your brother was here saying same thing three weeks ago because he was being censored.”

“I would love to see it go to the Supreme Court, to tell you the truth,” Eric Trump said. “The irony of the whole situation, you have everybody in the media, everybody on The Washington Post and The New York Times, they stand behind free speech whatever they want to do. As tragic as it often is, whatever they want to do. Yet when conservatives are out there getting censored by big tech, they say absolutely nothing about it.”
