Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke was temporarily suspended from Twitter on Tuesday over tweets violating the platform’s terms of service.
According to CNN, Clarke was placed on “limited status” over three tweets threatening violence against members of the media. He is unable to post until the offending tweets were deleted.
“When LYING LIB MEDIA makes up MAKE NEWS to smear me, the ANTIDOTE is to go right at them,” Clarke wrote in one of the now-deleted tweets, “Punch them in the nose & MAKE THEM TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD. Nothing gets a bully like LYING LIB MEDIA”S attention better than to give them a taste of their own blood #neverbackdown.” It was accompanied by a photo of Donald Trump’s face photoshopped onto the body of a wrestler kicking another wrestler labeled CNN
On Tuesday, Clarke tweeted another message saying he would not be “intimidated into silence by LYING LIB MEDIA,” saying he was targeted by “LIBERAL hyper partisan government HACKS who weaponize government authorirty to go after people whose views they don’t like.”
A conservative Trump supporter, Clarke resigned as sheriff in September to join the pro-Trump political action committee America First Action. He previously announced in May that he had accepted a position in the Department of Homeland Security, an announcement he later rescinded.
Clarke’s reps didn’t immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment
Well let’s all sign up for Twitter and start talking about the media so we can get suspended too.
I hate how so many places try to control discourse
Even Breitbart forum reviews posts if you post key words
Breitbart is very partial to purging particular criticisms
Silly
Not an echo chamber but a counter to a near monopoly the left has on social media
Which they indeed manipulate
I think The Sheriff should call them out.
The reality is that some posts have to be stopped, or the site will be shut down and the owner be in legal trouble.
You can either enforce the rules, or don't run a forum.
Twitter wants to receive protection under the First Amendment but denies it to its users.
Typical Lib attitude.
Threatening violence isn't protected under the 1st Amendment.
Where did David Clarke threaten violence towards anyone?
Depends on how it is said!
Free speech for me but not for thee.
When will the media be suspended for falsely attacking a private citizen ?
Just tweeted the article. See if I’m suspended.
Already done.
It's called GAB.AI
I saw a thread about this. A bunch of libs tweeted that they sent Twitter complaints about his tweet.
Good luck!
Yet... who started it ?
NBC's Year-End Fake News Tweets Target Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke
Twitter did not have any problem with Shelia Jackson Lee calling the lady from whom she stole her seat on a United Airlines flight from Houston to D. C. a racist without having one iota of information about the lady. Twitter is liberal and biased just like the Fake News Media.
Twitter > where judge and jury meets freedom
Twitter > where good honest opinion and free speech ends
Twitter > where the cousins of the 1st Amendment crawled off to die
Twitter > where Leftists go when nobody else will listen
