On Monday (11), Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, said he was banned from a Washington, D.C., studio for an interview with a Fox Business host because he was placed on a “list.
Miller tweeted, “Wow! The anti-Trump censorship/deplatforming campaign is out of control. Just went to the LiveShots studio in DC to appear on Fox Business with (host) Charles Payne and was told by a LiveShots employee that I wasn’t allowed to use their studio because ‘I’m on a list. “
Miller said that when he asked what kind of list he was on and why the studio had taken reservations in the first place, Liveshots D.C. employees told him that the list was for “health reasons.
According to the Liveshots D.C. website, the studio is located across the street from the Capitol, in the same building as the public affairs satellite cable network (CSPAN), Fox and Microsoft’s national broadcaster (MSNBC). It bills itself as “the best live filming facility” in the capital.
“Having not been around people infected with COVID, I asked a little more. I was told they had a ‘list’ of people they wouldn’t allow in, ‘because, like, who you were around when you were in the White House and so on… it was for health reasons.'” He recalls.
“The only way these companies have learned their lesson is that we refuse to spend our money on them. I wish that Fox Business and Fox News Channel would stop using the LiveShots studio for interviews with any guests.” Miller adds.
“The censorship and dismantling of the downlink operation may start with just one person. But if these companies are happy to do it to the President of the United States, then they are happy to do it to anyone, especially any of the 75 million Americans who voted for President Trump.”
Liveshots D.C. did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.
Multiple companies cancel Trump business
The events come at a time when several companies are acting against Trump, his campaign, and his business in the wake of the storming of the Capitol on the 6th. On Monday, they were joined by mobile payments company Stripe and Canadian multinational e-commerce company Shopify.
Stripe told the media that it would not be processing payments for the Trump campaign due to the storming of the Capitol.
According to Stripe’s website, it does not allow certain businesses to use its services. Businesses are included as long as they “engage in, promote, advocate or glorify unlawful violence against persons or property, physical harm to persons or tangible damage to property.
Meanwhile, Shopify also took down the online stores of The Trump Organization and the Trump campaign, saying the company “does not tolerate incitement to violence.
In a statement to the media, a Shopify spokesperson said, “Based on recent events, we have determined that President Donald J. Trump’s actions violate our Acceptable Use Policy. This policy prohibits marketing or supporting organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to advance a cause. As a result, we have taken down the stores associated with President Trump.” .
The Trump campaign has not responded to a request for comment.
In total, at least 13 companies or service organizations have taken action against Trump and his supporters since the storming of the Capitol.
Trump has repeatedly called for a stand against violence
After the Capitol storming, Trump tweeted a call for “everyone at the Capitol to remain peaceful and not use violence.
He also tweeted a video calling on supporters to go home peacefully.
“I know your pain, I know how hurt you are, that our election was stolen … but it’s time for you to go home, we want peace, we want law and order, we don’t want to see anyone get hurt.” He said.
Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Tuesday (Jan. 12), President Trump said, “We don’t want violence, we never want violence, we want absolutely no violence.”
