No, they’re claiming that he is too threatening because he said that news media that lie should be punished. He said Don Lemon should be “confronted, humiliated, mocked and punished”

That was apparently interpreted as a “threat”. Here’s what Twitter said:

“‘We believe in freedom of expression and in speaking truth to power, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up,’ the spokesperson said.

I guess if news entities think that they might be humiliated if they lie, it will make them “afraid to speak up”, so Twitter has to silence the ones who might humiliate them.

Twisted logic.

So Roger Stone speaks truth to power, and *this* is the reason Twitter bans him? Truly, liberalism *is* a mental disorder.

I can see a temporary suspension for using foul language. But censoring because of ideas, because someone speaks up for truth, is extremely troubling.
