NEW: Twitter flags tweet from Pres. Trump, saying it violates its rules about 'glorifying violence.'
"These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!" Trump tweeted shortly before 1 a.m. Friday."This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.
Frey responded to Trump at an early-morning press conference Friday, saying that type of finger point is weak. Floyd, who is black, was seen pinned down in a video by a white police officer and later died. He could be heard screaming,"I can't breathe," on the video of the incident. Trump responded to the flags by issuing an executive order Thursday targeting social media companies.
