‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot Director Paul Feig Demands Jack Dorsey Suspend Trump from Twitter: ‘He’s Trying to Tear This Country Apart’
Breitbart ^ | Nov 22, 2020 | DAVID NG

Hollywood director Paul Feig is urging Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to suspend President Donald Trump from the social media platform, claiming that the president is “trying to tear this country apart.” But the Joe Biden-supporting filmmaker failed to cite any examples of the president violating Twitter rules that could lead to a suspension.

Feig, who directed the 2016 feminist reboot of Ghostbusters, implored Dorsey in a tweet early Sunday: “Dear @jack, please suspend the account of @realDonaldTrump. The warning labels aren’t enough. He’s trying to tear this country apart. What could be more against the rules of Twitter than the destruction of American democracy? He’s over. He’s not even doing his job anymore. Enough.”

Paul Feig failed to cite any instances of President Trump violating Twitter’s terms of service. Under Twitter rules, users can be suspended if they engage in “abusive” behavior, such as sending threats or threatening violence against anyone. They can also be suspended for impersonating someone else.

Feig, who endorsed Joe Biden’s bid for the presidency, has previously called for President Trump to leave the White House.

In 2016, the director appeared to blame President Trump’ followers for the box-office failure of the feminist Ghostbusters reboot.

“I think some really brilliant author … needs to write a book about 2016 and how intertwined we were with Hillary [Clinton] and the anti-Hillary movement,” Feig said during an appearance on “The Jess Cagle Show” on SiriusXM. “Everyone was at a boiling point. I don’t know if it was having an African American president for eight years that teed them up, they were just ready to explode.”

That’s what people all over the country are being told by the media. If these people aren’t smart enough to know they are being brainwashed, they aren’t smart enough to seek the truth.

Obama did that long before Trump got there.

The Communists still refuse to accept Trump’s 2016 win, and are the ones who have been dividing and tearing apart the country for decades. STFU, hypocrite.

I am always perplexed when people who rely on mass-consumerism take the risk of alienating a large part of their consumer base. There will always be many people working in non-sensitive industries that will hit out on political points, so there is NO need for someone working in a sensitive industry (eg entertainment, hospitality, mass retail, etc) to stick their nose into anything to do with religion, politics, culture etc!

Just, simply, do not!

Even when it’s a burning proposition just don’t do it and let someone from a non-sensitive industry toss the dart. It’s truly amazing!

This stands for both Liberals and Conservatives by the way.

I am frankly surprised Dorsey has not already done that. Especially after the election.

Well, for the 348 people who saw the movie I’m sure they agree with him.

“trying to tear this country apart.”
Actually, Trump is trying to unify the country - but at the expense of the “elites” who are trying to dominate the middle class. That looks like “tearing the country apart” to them . . .

It’s insane, and actually annoys me since it reeks of arrogance. That the person thinks his point is so ‘correct’ that he believes everyone thinks like him (or that those that don’t do not matter, even though a Dollar from a Conservative buys the same exact amount as that from a Liberal.

I wanted to watch the new Ghostbusters (especially since it was meant to be different from the disaster that was the woman-only Ghostbusters some months back), but after this I will wait for it when it gets to the discount bin

Curious if Hollywood Lefties realize how many SAG/AFTRA Players, along with Writers, Directors, Producers, Gaffers and Grips Voted Again for a #Trump2020LandslideVictory.
So Very Many. Sadly, many Trump Voters in Hollywood had to remain under-the-radar for work/relation purposes.

The pathetic Ghostbusters 2016 should have been a career ender for this creep. But since it emphasized political correctness, he rose in stature amongst the Left and further enriched himself in money and power.
