Despite winning a large majority in both the House and the Senate, President Donald Trump warned on Twitter on Sunday that he would veto the National Security Accreditation Act again. In a morning tweet, the president wrote, “China is the biggest winner of our new defense!” I veto! ”
The president has threatened to force the veto of the past bill. In particular, lawmakers have called for the repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Density Act 1996, which protects social media companies from liability for posts on their sites. The demand came as Twitter and Facebook recently started flagging false and inflammatory content from the president, particularly about the false allegations against Joe Biden and the election fraud. In essence, the president appears to be renewing a vow to curb national security because he is obsessed with what people are allowed to say about him and his election humiliation on the Internet.
The bill was passed in the Senate on Friday from 84 to 13 and in the House last week from 335 to 78. In threatening to veto the $ 740 billion bill, Trump has forced GOP lawmakers to choose a new demonstration by not violating his veto and handing him another loss before stepping down in January.
