Major trump backer mercer bringing far rw parler back

'' . . . Parler has lambasted other social media companies for over-moderating content, especially as Trump’s own posts were labeled with fact-checks or removed by Facebook and Twitter. After Trump was kicked off Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, Parler was once thought of as the logical place for him to reemerge. A BuzzFeed News report suggested Trump’s team was working with Parler to give the former president a stake in the company, where he would post his messages first. That hasn’t come to fruition, though Meckler said Parler would “welcome” Trump, during an interview on Fox News last week.

“We’re here to be the platform for free speech,” he said. “And if Donald Trump wants to come here and participate in free speech, he would be welcome on the platform. . . ”

[Give traitortrump major stake in the company no less?]
