No they definitely should, this is precisely their job. Why should public officials not be held to the same standards as individual citizens

Because they have the weight of people who elected them behind them. I don't understand how that's hard to understand.

It's the same reason why we care about murder of an elected official more than a murder of any other person.

She'll be fine. Isn't the media market, in the US, free?

She'll go to fox news or parler.

So you think they should be held to higher standards than others then?

I think it should be the voters who decide what the standars are, not random corporations.

Voters decide who sits in congress, not who gets to talk on twitter, thats a job for twitters employees
