President Trump officially kept his promise to Americans and has VETOED the National Defense Authorization Act because it doesn’t terminate Section 230.
TRUMP.🇺🇸
“The act fails to make any meaningful changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, despite bipartisan calls for repealing that provision.”

Election Wizard:
Per CNBC, President Donald Trump has vetoed the $740 billion defense bill.
President Trump said Congress’s decision to not repeal Sec 230’s liability protections “facilitates the spread of foreign disinformation online,†which is “a serious threat to our national security.â€
This is a huge shot at the establishment ho wants to protect Big Tech.
They will likely move forward and will try to get a VETO proof majority to pass the bill again.
We have been covering this for some time:
President Trump kept his promise to Americans and said he will Veto the National Defense Authorization Act because it doesn’t terminate Section 230.
He also pointed out that it didn’t allow for our troops to be brought home.
I will Veto the Defense Bill, which will make China very unhappy. They love it. Must have Section 230 termination, protect our National Monuments and allow for removal of military from far away, and very unappreciative, lands. Thank you! https://t.co/9rI08S5ofO

Some Republicans have attempted to bully President Trump into signing this Bill. He is having none of it. It is unclear whether Congress will have the votes to override the Veto. Some Republicans may side with President Trump after the Veto which would leave Congress with not enough votes to override it.
Section 230 must go.
We have reported on President Trump’s prior threats on this bill.
Very sadly for our Nation, it looks like Senator @JimInhofe will not be putting the Section 230 termination clause into the Defense Bill. So bad for our National Security and Election Integrity. Last chance to ever get it done. I will VETO!

We covered his initial threat yesterday:
President Trump took to Twitter to announce that he was going to veto the National Defense Authorization Act unless Section 230 is repealed.
Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to “Big Tech†(the only companies in America that have it – corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand…..

…..Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!

This is huge news. Section 230 is the only thing allowing for Big Tech to continue their stranglehold on Free Speech. Without it, they will be forced to stop censoring Conservatives.
We just have to hope that Conservatives stand behind President Trump in this fight. Trump can’t do this on his own.
We know Democrats will never fight against Big Tech. They know that it was essential to them “winning”(if the fraud works) the 2020 election. They were able to cover up for Biden and stop the truth from getting out.
This should have been done years ago it is that simple.
Key Points:
-Trump announced he will veto the National Defense Authorization Act unless Section 230 is repealed
-It is unclear how much support Trump has on this. If he doesn’t have enough then this might be a threat that means nothing
-It will expose which Republicans are willing to stand up to Big Tech
-Many have said that the repeal of Section 230 would end Big Tech’s ability to censor Conservative voices
