    I’ve watched how this plays out repeatedly. Don’t repeat the lie is a pretty straightforward part of the response.

      Respectfully disagree. Unchecked this gives whoever has the loudest microphone power to claim whatever they want out of context and most people will never find out the truth until it doesn’t matter anymore.

      “This person said something really bad - we can’t tell you what it was but believe us, it was really bad”

      The tweet posted is not a good message to spread. But my gauge is whether I’d be ok with the other side having the ability to determine what is and isn’t ok to spread, and I would very much not like Republicans (via legislative or social pressure) to have the ability to dictate what messages are too dangerous to share
