James Woods Banned from Twitter Amid Silicon Valley’s Conservative Blacklisting Campaign

James Woods, one of the few conservative stars in Hollywood, has been locked out of his Twitter account for over a week now for “abusive behavior,” once again demonstrating the double standard the tech giant holds when it comes to enforcing rules.

Twitter suspended Woods for a tweet that read, “‘If you try to kill the King, you best not miss’ #HangThemAll,” according to his girlfriend Sara Miller.

The tweet was apparently in reference to the Mueller report, which found no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. The quote is from Ralph Waldo Emerson and has been used in various forms in movies and TV shows like The Wire.

Nevertheless, this post apparently met the threshold on Twitter for “abusive behavior.”

Twitter does not appear to have the same standard for leftists. As Breitbart News has reported, there are several examples of actual violent threats going unchecked by the social media company.

Richard Burton and..John Hurt I believe

Fox should hire him as a talk show host. Better than Kimmel and Colbert, plus I’m sure the conversation will be light years more intelligent.

I liked both Roddy Piper and Keith David in that movie.

history is not going to be kind on the owners of theses platforms

Best fight scene ever. It was never ending. LOL

I’m sitting in front of the tv screaming “Put the glasses on already!”

The wonderful Diamond and Silk have been treated so
horribly by Facebook. They work so hard and what has been
done to them is very sad - and we’re looking into. It’s
getting worse and worse for Conservatives on social media!

I am continuing to monitor the censorship of AMERICAN
CITIZENS on social media platforms. This is the United
States of America — and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF
SPEECH! We are monitoring and watching, closely!!

The PHONE NUMBER AT THE CAPITOL IS 202-224-3121.  After watching this one you really need to raise some hell with these people BEFORE the oligarchs in Silicon Valley RIG THE NEXT ELECTIONS.  And, trust me here, THAT’S WHERE THIS IS GOING!!

If some people are banned for speaking in a public forum where is the equal protection of our Constitutional rights?

People, this is really not difficult to understand. Private servers aren't "public forums," and asking to leave your private property because they're both advocating violence and not a lefty isn't violating anyone's constitutional rights.

Or do you think JR is violating lefties' constitutional rights by not giving them equal time here? Did you think this through at all?

[Pajamajan]

"who is to say these left wing lunatic techies are not banning people on BEHALF of certain government officials request as a 'one hand washes the other' deal?

BUMP

[marajade]

Twitter kindly unlocked my account. I kept asking them what rule did I violate. Twitter only kept telling me that my posting activity looked suspicious and I got caught up in some kind of sweep. Whatever.

[GOPJ]

Tucker’s right on this - we’ve got to defend the free speech rights of everyone ... even the folks we don’t like.

[Phillyred]

FR isn’t a global communication forum used by hundreds of millions of people a day. When private sectors have the power to shut you out of public debate, they’re dangerous to liberty. You no longer have an even playing field for your God given rights. This impacts who gets elected, who runs our lives, what ideas and news the entire planet sees.

[Phillyred]

They’re trying to influence elections with deceptive tactics and violating the public trust. Bring them down while we can.

Waiting for Freepers to come here and say “WELL ITS THEIR RIGHT TO DO THIS..START OUR OWN FACEBOOK/TWITTER”

Abandoning conservative principles and strengthening the federal government selectively is a liberal approach, not a conservative one.

[aNYCguy]

Please explain how Twitter has “shut James Woods out of public debate” when he can go to Gab, go to any of a thousand other internet sites, start his own site, or go hold a sign in Times Square.

[YogicCowboy]

Same with Hunger Games and Harry Potter.

[hsmomx3]

Someone tell James Woods he can come here...........

[YogicCowboy]

The Prisoner is my favorite.

[Jack Hammer]

Woods is a stand-up guy with a first rate education and a genius IQ.

I’d consider it a privilege to hear anything he has to say.
