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

Posted on 10/02/2020 12:20:36 PM PDT by rickmichaels

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.

Nowhere does that policy prohibit applauding the death of an Orange monster. Not by any stretch.

I’ve been trolling the Twitter cesspool all day reporting tweets that wish the President or First Lady to suffer or die.

I suggest any FReepers who can stomach the stench of Twitter do the same.

They, Twitter, have no mirrors because they cannot stand seeing their hypocrisy staring back at them.

If Biden got China Virus, I can't imagine wishing him death, nor would most Freepers. I despise the man, but …

The American left has daddy issues, and in general mental issues of every stripe.

You know, I really loathed obama, and thought he was the worst thing that ever happened to my country.

But I think I can honestly say I never wished for him to contract a deadly disease and die.

But maybe that’s just me.

Well the fact of the matter is that Trump looks stupid for not following CDC guidelines and getting it and Joe Biden looks smart because he listened to the CDC and did not get it.

Those who use Twitter, including President Trump, should think twice about it.

I’ve given up friends who say bad things about POTUS, it pain me to think that rotten Dorsey gets away with it vicariously.

they may be college grads.. they may be wealthy and own stuff.. but they have NO knowledge of what they want to live in/with.

a world without the influence of God would be dark like no one has seen yet. they will end there and plead for light.. but they snuffed it out by ignorant blindness.

what Trump offers is saving their hide from socialism.. but they blindly stumble toward it.. as if it is good and desired.. dumb and dumber asking for hell on earth.

The silver lining after reading all these hateful Democrat supporters’ Tweets? They are going to be so disappointed when Trump rises like a Phoenix and wins the election. I will savor their Tweets! It will be great!
