Evan Williams, in an interview with the New York Times, said he's 'sorry' if Twitter played a role in helping President Trump get elected.

President Trump has suggested in the past, if it weren't for Twitter, he might not have won the presidency.
Twitter co-founder Evan Williams reflected on that assertion during a recent interview with the New York Times.
After thinking about the claim for a bit, Williams said, “It’s a very bad thing, Twitter’s role in that...If it’s true that he wouldn’t be president if it weren’t for Twitter, then yeah, I’m sorry.”
Trump, whose Twitter account is followed by about 30 million users, told Fox News in March, "...let me tell you about tweeting...I think that maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twitter, because I get such a fake press, such a dishonest press...I'm not including Fox, because I think Fox has been fair to me, but if you look at CNN and if you look at these other networks...you take a look at what's going on. I call it the fake press, the fake media."
In addition to expressing his personal thoughts on the platform, Trump has used Twitter to communicate his administration’s position on various policies.
While the social network may have helped Trump during his campaign, some are suggesting that he should refrain from tweeting now.
Among them is former Florida governor Jeb Bush who spoke during a conference in Las Vegas on Friday.
While Bush acknowledged that Twitter provides the president a mechanism to directly reach the American people without a filter, he added, in part, “When [Trump] tweets he also gives our enemies all sorts of nuances and insights. These things matter. There are lots of reasons that you don't want to send out signals to our adversaries.”
