As was pointed out in the fight over Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation, win or lose, President Trump remains president until January, so it wasn’t really a case of sneaking in his nominee right under the wire before Election Day. Instagram, however, seems to have forgotten that fact and is appending a “fact-check” to each of Trump’s posts. Julie Ponzi noted it yesterday:
And again today:
We checked it out ourselves and sure enough, Instagram appends a “fact-check” to Trump’s posts now as if the cutoff to call him “president” was Election Day. What does Joe Biden being the projected winner have to do with Veterans Day? We mean, even Twitter, which can’t crack down fast enough on tweets spreading “misinformation” about the integrity of the election, would let this post slide. Fact-check: It is Veterans Day, and Donald Trump is still president.
