Donald Trump Jr. Posts 'Told You So' Meme as Right Celebrates Twitter Leak

Donald Trump Jr. has reacted with glee to the release of the so-called "Twitter files," suggesting the allegations justify his father's claim that social media and Big Tech were working against the Republican Party in the 2020 election.

In a series of tweets, the former president's eldest son claimed that posts made by independent journalist Matt Taibbi at the behest of Twitter owner Elon Musk show that apparent conspiracy theorists are "right again."

Trump Jr. also used the posts to revert back to the common conservative tactic of mocking people's use of preferred pronouns.

"I identify as a conspiracy theorist, my pronouns are Told/You/So," a meme shared by Trump Jr. read.

In a lengthy Twitter thread on Friday, Taibbi shared a series of internal discussions from Twitter staff discussing how they will censor users from sharing a New York Post story in the run up to the 2020 Election as it violated the platform's 'distribution of hacked materials' policy.

The New York Post story detailed allegations that Hunter Biden arranged for then-Vice President Joe Biden to meet with an executive from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, where Hunter was a board member, in April 2015.

The information for the story was supplied by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who said he obtained it from a laptop President Biden's son left in a Wilmington, Delaware, in April 2019, but never picked up.

The files shared by Taibbi also allegedly show that members of Joe Biden's 2020 team, and the Trump administration, were in contact with Twitter's moderation team.

Tabbi's posts also allege that Team Biden and the Democratic National Committee were asking Twitter to delete potential harmful tweets involving Hunter Biden in 2020, including ones which were sexually explicit and shared without Hunter's permission.

"CONFIRMED: Twitter was engaged in direct election influence operations as an instrument of 'the Biden team.' The corruption was everything we always suspected — and there's more to come," Trump Jr. tweeted. "The 'conspiracy theorists' were right again!

"The real question is as terrible as it was, how was what happened at Twitter really any different than your average newsroom throughout the 2020 election and really for the last decade? Does anyone honestly think your average journalist is any less partisan?" Trump Jr. added.

A number of other Trump loyalists also declared that the Twitter files were proof of the former president's long running gripe that social media companies unfairly target and censor right-wing voices and apparently interfered in the last Election.

Alex Bruesewitz, a conservative activist affiliated with the Stop the Steal movement, tweeted: "President Trump has been completely vindicated tonight about 2020 #TwitterFiles."

Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert also tweeted: "We thought Twitter was a corrupt cesspool. We never knew it was this bad."

In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump claimed the "Twitter files" were proof that the country as a whole is "corrupt" while continuing to push false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 Election.

"Wow! That's a really big story about Twitter and various forms of government Fraud including, specifically, Election Fraud. The same level of Fraud took place with the other Big Tech companies, if not even worse (if that's possible?)," Trump wrote.

"We are living in a VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY &, AS THEY ARE SAYING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, 'NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT & FBI ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.' But they'll keep investigating 'boxes' that were legally & openly taken from the [White House]."

Newsweek has contacted Twitter and the White House for comment.
