Former Trump spokesman launches new social media platform GETTR

A former spokesman for former President Donald Trump launched a new social media platform on the Fourth of July by defiantly declaring “independence” from what he called the “woke tyranny” of tech giants.

Jason Miller left his day-to-day job with Trump last month to become the CEO of GETTR, which officially went live at 10 a.m. ET on July 4. “GETTR is a direct challenge to the social media oligarchs from Silicon Valley, and what better day to declare independence from their woke tyranny than July 4th?” Miller said in a statement. “GETTR is the marketplace of ideas. We will not cancel people for their political opinions, and GETTR offers far more features and better technology than anything else out there.”
