Hillary Clinton on Friday celebrated Twitter’s permanent ban of President Donald Trump’s personal account, less than two weeks before his term expires.
More than four years ago, on June 9, 2016, Clinton responded to one of then-candidate Donald Trump’s tweets, calling on him to delete his account. On Friday, she retweeted that years-old message, adding a checkmark:

Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s personal account on Friday evening “due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” echoing the rhetoric of many Democrat politicians, who continue to blame him for the chaos that descended upon the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday:
After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.https://t.co/CBpE1I6j8Y
