Pete Hegseth furious Twitter banned him for sharing terrorists anti-American screed: ‘If they can ban me, they’ll ban anyone’

Fox and Friends host Pete Hegseth said Sunday that he was banned from Twitter for sharing a screenshot of a manifesto that appeared to be from the Saudi gunman who killed three sailors at Naval Air Station Pensacola Friday morning.

Mohammed Alshamrani, a Royal Saudi Air Force officer, was killed by police, but his extreme anti-American views were visible in a Twitter account under his name. A tweet was posted before the shooting suggesting the attack was inspired by al Qaeda and its founder, Osama bin Laden.

“America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil,” the message said, in part, which is a 2010 quote from al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

Hegseth, an Army veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, shared the screed in a tweet, calling the shooting “Islamic terror,” which he said resulted in the social media platform banning him.

(He received two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his service.)

The tweet read: “Here’s the (now blocked) tweet from Saudi Islamist Mohammed Alshamrani, who murder 3 brave Americans in Florida. The coward posted it just hours before his terrorist attack. This is Islamist terror. No reason to ever mince words. Saudi Arabia must be held to account.”

Claiming “big tech does the bidding of the Left,” Hegseth said on Instagram he’d been banned from Twitter, half-expecting that Instagram would also ban him.

During a terrorist attack, don't use twitter to warn others.

They will cut you off.

Which is why twitter WILL be broken up. Soon.

And also why Dorsey is making moves to leave the country. Keep in mind, he still makes billions from Square payments.

Outlaw 'giving speeches' (by Americans or their pass-throughs) for MORE than $200 in the ME and outlaw 'buying political books written by US government, military, State Department, ect. lowlifes ' in ALL Arab counties. And this problem will end on it's own...

The hatred from the muzzy is not the problem. It’s the normal person who dared reveal that the muzzy hates us.
Twitter promotes terrorism by willingly carrying jihadi propaganda, and by silencing humans who complain about the calls to violence.

It’s what leftists do. And you can’t do a thing about it.

We let them take the educational system, that is when they won.

It’s only a problem when people start listening to them and acting without questioning their obvious biases.

Their censorship of pro American and pro conservative posts forcing people with those opinions to lose access and to loose influence IS the big problem.

And yet the Trump administration has done nothing to break up the tech monopolies.

Imagine a phone company deleting calls, blocking you from calling, or just cutting your calls if they disagree with what you say.
