and we have controversy where twitter was shadow-banning the rnc chairwoman, top gop lawmakers and donald trump's spokesperson. the dnc chairman. they said they would look into the discriminatory practices. charlie: i spoke with twitter senior management that they are anti-conservative. they are extremely sensitive to this. that doesn't mean they don't have human beings that create algorithms that can shadow-ban conservatives. but the company said they are taking extreme measures to be equal for conservatives as well as liberals. we had interesting conversations about president trump. this is a guy who essentially drive traffic to twitter. some of his tweets go close to the lines of violating the terms of service. i said did you ever think about banning donald trump. they said they seriously considered that in the megyn kelly tweet tboolg she asked him during the debate. but they are saying we are not going after trump. we believe he's a vital voice. he's the president, he uses twitter. they say they are trying to be equal here. now, it's imperfect equal, we know that. they did fix that s

congressman johnson of wisconsin come out and say he doesn't think it's a good idea, you also had the rncan say that this should not and will not happen, it's just not a good idea for republicans to do this right before the midterms, i mean, if we want to talk about, you know, government shutdowns, president trump was very critical of president obama in 2013 during that shutdown in which he called obama's, obama weak and saying that he lacked leadership because of government shutdown, so i wond internal revenue if the president feels the same way now that has going to be the second government shutdown in less than two years. >> look, nobody wants government shutdown. nobody is a party of government shutdowns but when you elect a republican congress to the house, you elect to republican senate and republicans to the white house you have an expectation that they do what they say they are going to do and one of the things is to reform immigration. this is more about the republicans have been a little bit of enthusiasm gap going midterms and this is something that would really drive the base,

the rnc chairwoman rhona ronna|1 mc |0 daniel joins us live. brad par school. trump's campaign manager. you sent a letter to social media sites asking them to explain why republicans were being shadow banned and democrats were not. did you ever hear back from them? >> we didn't. and so we were on your show when we put that letter out because we wanted that public forum because we were concerned about it twitter never responded to letter that proved republican congressman, leaders in our party verified on twitter were being blocked from users trying to find their profiles. then the president tweeting yesterday and now, of course, they are coming to the table. i think they still have more work to too to clear up why were conservatives being banned? why are they using shadow banning? and this is important to all of their users. it's important to our political dialogue that the thought police of silicon valley are not determining what voices get through on their social media platform. ainsley: you have been on our show complaining about it brad par
