Twitter CEO Calls Rep. Omar After Trump's Tweet Prompts Death Threats

Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey phoned Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar and stood by the company’s decision to permit a tweet from President Trump that later resulted in a flood of death threats targeting the congresswoman. The previously unreported call focused on an incendiary video that Trump shared on April 12, which depicts Omar discussing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks interspersed with footage of the Twin Towers burning.
