President Trump: 'I would rather have fake news' than censorship

During a rally in Charleston (WV), President Donald Trump railed against social media censorship, declaring he would "rather have fake news than have anybody... stopped and censored." He told a crowd that his administration is "standing up to social media censorship." While the issue has been championed by conservatives, President Trump pushed back against potential censorship of any accounts, regardless of political affiliation. "I would rather have fake news than have anybody -- including liberals, socialists, anything --than have anybody stopped and censored," President Trump said.  "You can’t pick one person and say ‘well we don’t like what he’s been saying, he’s out,'" he added. He warned against embracing censorship of opposing viewpoints, because "it can turn around, it can be them next."
