Milo Suspended Permanently by Twitter Minutes Before ‘Gays For Trump’ Party At RNC
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jul 2016 | Ben Kew

Posted on 07/19/2016 8:37:11 PM PDT by Right Wing Assault

Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been suspended from Twitter once more just 20 minutes before his “Gays for Trump” event takes place at the Republican National Convention.

The justification for the suspension is currently unknown, although it could be as a result of Milo’s run-in with Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones on the site. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey publicly reached out to Jones late on Monday evening following her complaints of “abuse” on the platform.

BuzzFeed are reporting that the suspension is permanent, citing a statement from Twitter promising a clampdown on “targeted abuse.” Milo has also received a message from Twitter confirming that that his ban is permanent, copied below.

In a comment, Milo said “With the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives.”

“Twitter is holding me responsible for the actions of fans and trolls using the special pretzel logic of the left. Where are the Twitter police when Justin Bieber’s fans cut themselves on his behalf?”

“Like all acts of the totalitarian regressive left, this will blow up in their faces, netting me more adoring fans. We’re winning the culture war, and Twitter just shot themselves in the foot.”

“This is the end for Twitter. Anyone who cares about free speech has been sent a clear message: you’re not welcome on Twitter.”

I saw her making those claims yesterday, that she’d been hacked. I’m not convinced she was, based on the way she conducted herself the rest of the time.

Milo really had little to do with her complaints, as she was being harassed by NON fans of Ghostbusters, who were going in on her because the movie stinks.

From there, it devolved and Milo’s primary involvement was telling her to stop behaving so hysterically and acting like a crybaby, when she presents herself as a big tough feminist — who can’t put up with an ounce of dissent!

I think his worst offense was calling her a “dude”.

This will only help his fame.

Yes it’s ironic isn’t it, considering Jack Dorsey is gay himself?

And he took a personal interest in celebrity Leslie Jones complaints and apparently signed off on banning Milo again.

I sent this to Drudge earlier and he’s got it up now. I figured he’d be interested since he covered Milo’s earlier ban from Twitter.

It’s not that Milo is gay. It’s that he’s not a raging liberal, and -— they can’t completely silence him since he’s got Breitbart support!

I enjoy that Milo, being a gay ultra conservative who sticks it to the liberals so smoothly, is a thorn in their sides.

If you have not listened to his podcasts, by all means do so.

He is bringing a new demographic with similar goals as ours, but more influential.

Example: he got UC Irvine to back down from a ban of his appearance to talk to the Republican club there. Palin and Coulter could not get that done when they were banned.

He’s making conservatism cool, and fabulous.

Yes, he’s gay; but he’s our gay.

Who is Nero? I just wrote a nastygram including #FreeMilo towards Twitter and that actress bitch. Let’s see what happens to my account.

“have a Twitter account and have no interest in getting one, but how is a private corporation beholden to users who (to my knowledge) don’t even pay a fee?”

Agree.

Leslie Jones put out a tweet that she was the ones writing the racist tweets.

Another fake ‘hate crime.’ Go figure...

Why is Twitter homophobic?
Does Black trump(no pun intended) gay? Al Sharptongue's Greek homo remark from way back, which has yet to be denounced by the "leaders" of the LGBT movement. should be a clear indication. After Orlando, it should be abundantly clear islime beats LGBT.

Tweet to @jack or @twitter with the hashtag #FreeMilo

I can’t believe the lesbo from Ghostbusters got him banned over the review he wrote on the crappy movie...or that is basically what @twiiter is saying.

I dont believe for a second she was hacked because she was claiming that she had been hacked and was STILL able to tweet while it was supposedly happening. People who hack accounts change the password, you can no longer get in..so if this woman had been hacked she would NOT have been able to get into her account. My Yahoo mail account was hacked a few times(Til I realized that the reason why they were able to hack into it over and over again was that I didnt change the user info like “Whats your pets name” etc) and I could never get into the account that is how I knew it was hacked..She was posting Anti Semitic messages and claiming that she hates “Crackers” then whines about people trashing her, what a maroon

Trump is going to look into this.

Twitter aids and abbets terrorists and criminals worldwide.

Throw the CEO Dorsei in prison for life and seize all of their assets.

This is how you deal with domestic enemies.

Changed it from “Of course I didn’t read the article. This is FreeRepublic after all” when I got this crappy tablet. Even when I turn off auto correct, it comes back on after about three times of typing something.

Even just now, it kept changing tablet to racket.

I’ve been active on Twitter but its definitely gotten more and more extreme left. They allow the most vile ignorant left wing tweets while hiding and censoring conservative speech. It’s like a zoo in there lately with animals flinging poo

Ackroyd wanted to get a new Ghostbusters off the ground for a long time. Murray wasn’t very interested, and it was just about over when Ramis died. Ackroyd wanted to have the old team hand it off to a new team, but I guess he decide to just cash out and let someone else do it. Feig came in and decided to make it a reboot instead of a sequel, and went with four women. And, yes, Feig has denounced anyone skeptical of the movie as a mouth-breathing Trump fan. I’m glad to see box office is weak, though I wish it was a complete failure.

They have no ability to come up with new ideas. It’s easier to redo someone else’s work, but rotate all the possible types of characters. Gender, race, religion, orientation, etc. Yes, they love the politics of it, too.

Twitter is denying service to someone because they don’t agree with his lifestyle choices?

twitter should be forced to “bake the cake”
