Show Notes
After being banned from Twitter, Donald Trump set up Truth Social, his own social media platform. What can you expect to find on the site? Is it just a mouthpiece for the former President? Kayla Gogarty, associate research director at Media Matters America, joins Jacob Jarvis to discuss Trump’s online echo chamber.
- “Truth Social is a way for Trump to get back online and to avoid moderation.”
- “It’s an echo chamber of conspiracy theories and harmful rhetoric.”
- “As the midterms approach we’re seeing election misinformation ramp up.”
