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announced in May that he had accepted a position in the Department of Homeland Security, an announcement he later rescinded.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
This is a “trial” case by Twitter to see how far they can go.
Twitter must be racist. I knew it.
They are just tweets.
Let the libtards impeach Trump and we’ll see how media attacks - er - change.
You gotta give it to Sheriff Clarke, he’s tenacious.
I wish I had the skills and ability to start a conservative “twitter” perhaps call it Conservatwit?
TwitterCon?
Conserva-sense?
He certainly is. :D
This is how Twitter operates....a ‘complaint’ is filed to them by one of the leftist snowflakes. Twitter then suspends the account.
This is ONLY if you’re posting anything negative (albeit true) against libs.
Pravda had nothing on the Twitter Ministry of FakeNews department.
Is having an echo chamber worth it?
Trump needs to come out and condemn this disgraceful assault on the free speech of a True Patriot !
Twitter will never be able to withstand the fury of the Trump
His Black doesn’t matter?
His Black life doesn’t matter?
Twitter is just another NSA operation like Fakebook.
Other names:
Con-science
Conservatalk
TruthSpeak
Just brainstorming, perhaps by having a site with a higher standard/calling we could draw common sense folk ( the majority, when given the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth) True conservatives yearn for an educated critical thinking fully participatory citizenry and electorate. Only those with hidden or immoral/unethical and destructive agendas fear the people at large. The dream of our founders, the reason for our Constitution, our Constitutional Republic.
Could it break the twitter bank?
The Sheriff will be on TV soon no doubt.
The racist bastards that control Twitter are acting like Nazis, censoring this poor man.
Well Twit-ter is run by little wimps on the left.
Twitter is dead. They either ban or quarantine your account. I have 3500 followers and there is absolutely nothing happening there. If you Tweet or retweet non approved material, it goes down a rathole.
They are leftists only.
Conservative Blacks are to be destroyed.
