Donald Trump generated the most Facebook activity of any presidential candidate during the final week of the 2016 race, according to an analysis released Tuesday.
The Republican received more than 250 million likes, comments, shares and posts on the social media platform during the week ending Nov. 6, according to the 2016 USA Today/Facebook Candidate Barometer.
{mosads}Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton garnered more than 247 million Facebook engagements for the same time period, Oct. 31 to Nov. 6, while Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson got 4.5 million engagements and Green Party nominee Jill Stein received 3 million.
All four candidates have higher Facebook engagement totals than they did last week.
Clinton grabbed the lion’s share then, with 189.5 million Facebook engagements Oct. 23–30, while Trump had nearly 189 million, Johnson scored 3.5 million and Stein hovered around 2 million.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called the social media platform a nonpartisan platform for 2016 politics.
Reports emerged late last month, however, a number of Facebook employees campaigned to censor and remove controversial posts of Trump’s.
Several sources told The Wall Street Journal on Oct. 21 that employees were outraged that Trump called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Trump linked the proposal to his Facebook page in December, angering some of the company’s Muslim employees.
Zuckerberg ultimately reviewed an internal complaint on the matter, ruling it would not be appropriate to remove content from a presidential candidate.
The tech CEO also recently defended Facebook board member Peter Thiel’s controversial $1.25 million donation to Trump.
“We can’t create a culture that says it cares about diversity and then excludes almost half the country because they back a political candidate,” he said in an Oct. 19 internal post addressing Thiel’s support for the GOP nominee.
