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.”

These quasi news agencies that exercise editorial control over the public ought to have their Intellectual Property revoked.

You cannot have it both ways. Editorial control over public opinion, public comments and protection from competitors because of U.S IP laws.

From Box office mojo:

Ghostbusters (2016)
Domestic Total as of Jul. 18, 2016: $50,925,548
Production Budget: $144 million

Attacking Milo shows that director Paul Feig is getting pressure from producers to push a garbage movie.

Harold Ramis was working on a “Ghostbusters” script that would reunite him with the original team shortly before his untimely death. Didn’t hear much after that until the studio had the idea to reboot with women. From all accounts I’ve read, it’s awful.

Milo is scaring the crap out of the libs because they’ve spent DECADES painting conservatives as evil ogres who hate gays, minorities and any other group that they can scare with the conservative boogeyman.

That has NEVER been true, of course. And the libs know that if their decades-old ridiculous stereotyping of most of America is shown to be a complete lie, they are finished.

Did you see Hillary and Alinsky come up in Ben Carson's speech tonight? The lefties are all freaked out about that, too.

Ha! No, I haven't seen Carson's speech yet. Maybe tomorrow.

And they won’t even have China to bail them out! I read that the remaining countries are all non-English-language, and that English comedies don’t play well there. Ha!

The only thing it has is ripping off the name.

It made its money this weekend. Next weekend it will drop.

Why is Twitter homophobic?

They aren't. They just can't stand the thought of a gay person supporting Trump. They are Trumpophobic.

Join and use the hashtag: #FreeMilo in your replies. There is another we are trying to get re-instated. Not sure what did it, but Christa is conservative and I enjoy her posts. #Free Christina.

I joined to support Trump. I will prolly leave after Trump is sworn in. Very fast-moving commentary.

Twitter allows the most nasty, ugly people to thrive, including terrorist groups and BLM. They really don’t like Conservatives.

He understands fully that, whatever disagreements he has with traditional conservatism, he is better protected under it than any other system.

Twitter is a space for people who think their 160 character thoughts are important enough for the whole world to read. They are all mistaken.

More often Twitter is a place for people to destroy their professional careers and personal lives in 160 characters or less.

Maybe Ailes can take over One America. Nobody ever talks about this station because they report the news, but don’t make news. These days, if you want to raise your profile without spending a lot of money, you have to say or do something impactful or controversial.

Banning Milo on Twitter for what exactly?

Being gay and anti PC?

To put it in perspective, Twitter has millions of #BLM users tweeting out calls for the murder of white people and police on their Obama Phones paid for by the white people they want to murder

They also use Twitter to organize and incite protests and riots

The same can be said for Islamic Terrorists

Twitter is just fine with these users but bans Milo
