Twitter: Verified Users Wish Death on Trump, Violating Platform’s Rules
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 2, 2020 | Alana Mastrangelo

Twitter allowed wishes of death against President Donald Trump from its verified leftist users to stay on the platform Friday morning after the President announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus. Twitter clearly states that “hoping that someone dies as a result of a serious disease” is a violation of the platform’s terms of service, but has not taken widespread action against its “blue check” users.

“It’s been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past four years, but, I hope he dies,” tweeted Zara Rahim, a former national spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and Obama White House staffer. The tweet was initially highlighted by conservative producer and direction Robby Starbuck. This was just one prominent example of Twitter verified users wishing death on Trump. Some have deleted their comments and others have set their accounts private as a result of backlash.

Starbuck noted how the tweets violate Twitter’s rules. “‘Wishing, hoping or calling for serious harm on a person or a group of people’ is a major violation of Twitter’s terms of service,”

“Let’s see if [Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey] and @Twitter enforce this on all the leftists wishing, hoping and calling for serious harm to President Trump,” he added.

President Trump should figure out how to run the country and be the leader of the free world from the basement.

Is that what your dumbass is suggesting?

To: left that other site

If Biden was sick we wouldn’t wish death upon him because that behind him are busy nor evil people.

But behind Trump isn’t more trump. Behind him are American Patriots.

An ex-Twitter executive said he’d provide video commentary as evil conservatives were shot, and Twitter did nothing. Even though that’s glorification of violence, a clear violation of their terms of service.

They are not violating Twitter’s rules. Those rules apply only to conservatives, 2Amd supporters Christians, and real Republicans.
