YouTube pulled an interview between former President Donald Trump and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Friday for violating the platforms rules against misinformation.

The Daily Wire reports the latest episode of Real America with Ronna McDaniel, an online show featuring McDaniels interviews with Republicans, was removed from YouTube due to references that Trump made about the 2020 election.

The outlet reports that YouTube informed the RNC about the video removal and a strike against the official GOP YouTube account in an email Friday.

YouTube said in an email obtained by The Daily Wire that the episode was pulled because Trump claimed the 2020 election to be rigged without being challenged, and told the RNC that the episode would have been allowed to remain on the platform if it included sufficient context with countervailing views.

The email said, per The Daily Wire:

I wanted to let yall know that your video,Real America Season 2, Episode 5: President Donald J. Trump, has been removed fromthe GOP YouTube channel, because it violated our policies pertaining toelections misinformationand does not contain sufficientEDSA context. Namely, the video contains claims that the 2020 election was rigged, with tremendous voter fraud, andcountervailing views, which we refer to as EDSA context, on those remarks are not provided in the video, audio, title or description.

To clarify, this content would be permitted if it included sufficient context with countervailing views.

McDaniel accused YouTube of censoring conservative opinion in Big Techs campaign against free speech in a statement to The Daily Wire.

YouTubes decision to remove a filmed conversation between former President Trump and the Chairwoman of the Republican Party is just the latest example of Big Techs chilling approach to censoring conservative opinion, McDaniel said.

In March, Trumps appearance on theFull Sendpodcast was an instant hit, racking up over 5 million views in under 24 hours on YouTube. The video was removed shortly after for violating YouTubes Terms of Service.

Trump called his shot during the podcast, at one point mentioning to theFull Sendcast that hed be surprised if the video remained up once it was posted.

If you put up this whole interview lets see what happens when Instagram, and Facebook, and Twitter, and all of them, will take it down, Trump said, viaThe Daily Wire. And lets see what happens when they threaten you. Because we dont have a free press in our country.
