People think Assanges tweet is one of the      worst takes on the Trump administration.    <\/p>\n<p>      WikiLeaks famously published thousands      of emails related to Hillary Clinton and the      Democratic Party before the election, which many thought      swayed things in Trumps favor. Last summer, Assange said      that choosing whether to vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald      Trump for president was like       choosing between two different STDs. Its unclear who      Assange currently supports (if anyone), but he definitely has      an opinion about what information should be released to the      publicand how.    <\/p>\n<p>      In July, Assange said that he reached out to Donald Trump Jr.      about publishing his emails on WikiLeaks.    <\/p>\n<p>      Days later, he tweeted in support of a lawsuit that claims      Trump is violating the First Amendment by blocking users on      Twitter.    <\/p>\n<p>      Now Assange wants to discuss the administrations      transparencyeven if its not intentional.    <\/p>\n<p>      But many thought Assange whiffed hereand gave him      examples of how the Trump administration isnt actually      transparent.    <\/p>\n<p>      Of course, if Assange really cares about transparency, he      could always leak more documents on the current      administration.    <\/p>\n<p>      Your move, Assange.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/unclick\/julian-assange-memes-twitter-poll\/\" title=\"Julian Assange Gets Laughed Off Twitter After Tone Deaf Poll - The Daily Dot\">Julian Assange Gets Laughed Off Twitter After Tone Deaf Poll - The Daily Dot<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> On Friday morning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange decided to conduct a Twitter poll.
