Twitter CEO admits conservative employees ‘don’t feel safe’ expressing opinions

Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey admits conservatives are afraid to speak their mind while working at the social network.

Dorsey said he was on a listening tour to get a broader opinion of the company and its service.
