Twitter: No Warning on Misleading Viral Photo of Minneapolis Cop at Trump Rally
False claims that Derek Chauvin was on stage at a Trump rally went viral and have not been moderated by Twitter.

False claims that Derek Chauvin was on stage at a Trump rally went viral and have not been moderated by Twitter.

Hollywood actor and rapper Ice Cube shared with his 4.9 million Twitter followers a photo that falsely links former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and felon and Twitter troll Jonathan Riches wearing a “Make Whites Great Again” hat. Ice Cube’s tweet with the image has been retweeted more than 24,000 times, despite the fact that it’s in violation of the same misinformation guidelines that the company is currently using to punish conservatives on the platform.

Twitter has failed to take action as several verified accounts on Wednesday posted a photo falsely linking a Minneapolis police officer — infamous after he was caught on video kneeling on a now-deceased black man’s neck — with a man wearing a “Make Whites Great Again” baseball hat.
