Looks like they complied and pulled it... Says unavailable to me now, would almost be surprised if it does not disappear from youtube also now.

I only went looking for it because I wanted to share it with people that did not twitter...

I guess it was restored because the Presidents tweets are official records. So glad so many more are now watching it thanks to the idiocy of the dude from REM!

Re-release the video with a new audio track from a band that doesn’t have a ____ stuck up their butt.

It’s awesome watching sanders turn purple with rage when the President says we’ll never be a socialist country.
