Twitter at long last has affixed fact-check links to a couple of tweets by President Donald Trump that include verifiably false details, in this case claims by the president that mail-in balloting leads to election fraud. Note that Twitter didn’t remove the tweets, and hasn’t gone so far as to add fact-check links to the president’s baseless insinuations that MSNBC co-anchor Joe Scarborough might bear responsibility for a congressional aide’s long-ago natural death. Trump’s response: Take out the flamethrower and scorch away. Um, no, calling out bald-faced lies by a politician is not interfering with an election. As slow and insufficient as Twitter’s response to Trump’s serial lies and grotesque insinuations has been, this moment spotlights just how Trump manipulates a moment to turn it into something it is not. He’s tweeted spurious insinuations about MSNBC co-anchor Joe Scarborough and the long-ago death of an aide.
