YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHost John Iadarola is joined by TYT’s own Jayar Jackson to break down all of today’s news for you. George Floyd, an innocent black man, is murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by the police; when protests ensued, police shot rubber bullets and tear gas at the unarmed protesters. Twitter attempted to fact-check some of Trump’s tweets and he… lost it. A CNBC debate over the stock market erupted into a giant argument as Andrew Ross Sorkin accused Joe Kernen of ignoring the 100,000 Americans who have died from Covid-19 in order to “help [his] friend” Trump. Shockingly, Hannity suggests we should actually be wearing masks --but his Fox News counterparts, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, didn’t seem to get the memo. Conservatives mock Biden for… wearing a mask?

"Twitter labeled two of President Donald Trump’s tweets with a fact-check warning on Tuesday for the first time, prompting the president to accuse the platform of “stifling free speech.”
The social media platform applied the tag on two of Trump’s tweets that made claims, without evidence, that voting with mail-in ballots would be “substantially fraudulent.” The labels say “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” and direct users to a collection of news reports and articles debunking the tweets.
Near the top of Twitter’s fact-check page, a statement reads: “Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to ‘a Rigged Election.’ However, fact-checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud.”
The president has ramped up his attacks to discredit the integrity of mail-in voting in recent weeks, despite substantial evidence to the contrary."
