George Floyd’s killing sent shock waves across the world, and what followed is being witnessed by us all. What added more fuel to the fire was US President Donald Trump’s ‘insensitive’ tweet, and Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook not taking it down. Now actors including Jennifer Aniston and Mark Ruffalo have slammed the Facebook head honcho and asked him the reason for not pulling Trump’s post down.
The tweet by Donal Trump that glorified violence and justified George Floyd’s killing, read, “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”
As the tweet received backlash, Twitter was quick to pull it down. But Facebook still has the post up. There were reports that many Facebook employees requested Mark Zuckerberg to take it down. Joining them are FRIENDS fame Jennifer Aniston and Avengers star Mark Ruffalo.
