Twitter says it's "deeply sorry about the pain" Trump's tweets have caused

Trump and Trump Junior are tweeting accusatory nonsense about the death of a woman, and her widower asked Twitter to delete the hurtful messages because the tweets are in violation of Twitter's terms of service. But Twitter has made it clear that Trump can tweet anything he wishes with impunity, so the best it can do is say "We are deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family."

From AP:

[Timothy J. Klausutis called his wife's] death "the single most painful thing that I have ever had to deal with" and said he feels a marital obligation to protect her memory amid "a constant barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, innuendo and conspiracy theories since the day she died."

Klausutis said Trump is among the conspiracy theorists spreading "bile and misinformation" on Twitter "disparaging the memory" of his wife and their marriage.

Trump's tweets violate Twitter's community rules and terms of service, he said.

"An ordinary user like me would be banished," Klausutis wrote.

In a statement, Twitter said it was "deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family."
