I do not think this is really true, the proposal published by Bill Barr's DOJ did not call it a repeal but if you examine the actual legal contents of it it wasn't a reform at all [1].
> On the whole, the Justice Department initiative is worse than an outright repeal of Section 230. It invites internet firms to chase an increasingly elusive quarry of immunity for third-party content while exposing them to a wider range of legal liability.
To quote President Trump, REPEAL SECTION 230!!! [2]. It's not really called sound bite politics if somebody consistently keeps saying something and also tries to do something about it.
