Satire: Twitter Shut Down Because of Biden

The article that Trump shared was published by the Babylon Bee. The Babylon Bee is not a legitimate news network – they’re a satire website. They post articles such as “Democrats Hiss is Terror as ACB Holds Out Crucifix” and “Florida Recount Finally Wraps Up, Al Gore Declared President.” Their Twitter account actually says this on their profile: “Fake news you can trust.” Some argue that the president knew this but shared it anyway in an attempt to recirculate the news, while others believe he fell for the satirical article.

The actual reason for the shutdown is unknown, although Twitter says they’re looking into it. It’s supposedly an internal issue rather than a shutdown related to news or politics.
