President Donald Trump’s tweets about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other minority congresswomen, in which he called for them to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” will remain on Twitter amid the controversy they have caused.

Twitter won’t be removing them because it determined they don’t violate its terms of service, although the company said Monday — during which the hashtag #RacistPresident was among the top trending topics — it would have no comment about the matter.

Neither has Twitter applied a label to Trump’s tweets under its new policy, announced last month, which would add a disclaimer to political leaders’ tweets that the company deems to have violated its rules. Twitter’s rules include no attacks on others “on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”

Twitter has yet to label any tweets under its new policy, which also is supposed to downgrade the visibility of the tweets.
