So he just admitted that fact checking is suppressing conservative voices?

That's awesome.

He's also admitted that voter suppression is the main reason Republicans even get elected[0].

God help us if we ever get a competent authoritarian into office who's cunning enough not to say the corrupt part out loud.

It seems to not matter though as his supporters either 1) don't watch the sources sharing the truth, 2) don't have critical thinking mechanisms for integrity, and/or 3) decide it's "fake news" without critical thinking trying to determine if Trump is the propagandist or whomever Trump claims is the "fake news."
