It only took two hours for Trump's administration to contradict his threat to shut down Twitter

Shortly after Trump claimed on Twitter he would "strongly regulate" or "close down" social media platforms that are allegedly silencing "conservative voices," Pompeo sent out a tweet saying the U.S. "will not tolerate" government-imposed censorship or shutdowns.

What's funny is that his supporters talk about how the lockdown orders are taking away their rights, well, what did this executive order just do?

Probably just theater for those dumb enough to think Trump could actually do this.

Or it could be that he just went off the wall when he was fact-checked, and did this during a tantrum. And then the lackeys had to come along and try to do damage control.

One of those.
