On Trump’s fledgling Twitter clone, Truth Social, he posted a dozen messages after the hearing, criticizing it for showing “only negative footage” of the brutal siege. Travis Allen, an information security analyst in Kentucky, said his Truth Social account was suspended minutes after he replied to Trump’s account there Thursday night with a reference to the Jan. 6 hearing. “It is the height of hypocrisy for Truth Social to claim to support ‘free speech’ and then ban users for talking about” the hearings. Representatives for Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, did not respond to requests for comment. But much of the video also came from social media, like Parler, the right-wing social network popular then with Trump supporters.
