Twitter reportedly suspended an account on Tuesday night that had been retweeted by President Trump just hours earlier.
Trump on Tuesday afternoon retweeted the account, which went by the name LYNN THOMAS and had posted a tweet that called Democrats THE TRUE ENEMIES OF AMERICA," the Daily Beast reports.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONLY ONES INTERFERING IN OUR ELECTIONS. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY SO STRONGLY OPPOSE VOTER ID, read the tweet, which was accompanied by a graphic that read DEMOCRATS ARE THE TRUE ENEMIES OF AMERICA.
Twitter told CNN that the account was suspended for violating its terms and conditions but did not specify which rule had been broken. The platform bans users from artificially amplifying or disrupting conversations through multiple accounts.
The account, which was created in September 2018, called itself a "Fierce Trump supporter" and said, "I'm not a bot." It reportedly pushed QAnon conspiracy theories about Democrats murdering children, tweeting last week a meme that targeted former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Daily Beast reports.
Trump told C-SPAN Tuesday night that he doesnt has not much regret about his frequent tweeting but added that the bigger problem are the retweets.
You'll retweet something that sounds good, but it turned out to be from a player that's not the best player in the world, that sort of causes a problem," he said.
Trump has frequently come under fire for his tweets, including tagging a Twitter account on Tuesday that is associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory as he renewed calls to expand voter identification laws.
The president is also under fire for a recent string of attacks against Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), whom he called a racist and a brutal bully.
Twitter said last month that it would soon tag, but not remove, tweets from world leaders that violate its rules, marking a potential to affect Trump and his remarks.
So expressing a political opinion that’s not from the left is now considered an offense by the Twits.
I get it. You know, “hate speech” and all.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONLY ONES INTERFERING IN OUR ELECTIONS. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY SO STRONGLY OPPOSE VOTER ID,
DEMOCRATS ARE THE TRUE ENEMIES OF AMERICA.
President Trump recognized that retweets can be problematic because one comment might be on target but then there can be other unrelated stuff that is not, like with the unfortunate Qult.
So, interesting that President Trump disassociated himself from the Qult in acknowledging that a retweet leads to this “problem.”
Think about it.
We have laws to deal with people who disadvantage others based on their own political opinions. Confiscate their buildings in the U.S. Lock them out and sieze all illegally obtained assets. This will be a wake up call to others that days of discrimintaing against conservatives and christians are over.
he doesnt has not much regret
A Freeper has a graphic that said, “The Democratic Party is a Criminal Enterprise.” That’s certainly true historically, and more so since the Bill Clinton became President in 1993.
Democrats are just the sock puppets of the Brown Shirt Media, our real enemy.
When are conservatives going to figure out that Twitter, Facebook, etc. are not public forums. They are privately owned platforms, and the owners get to make the rules.
I am waiting for the conservative social media platform that will have its own set of rules and will not allow expressions supporting “gay” rights, climate fantasy and border disorder.
For some reason, it seems conservatives don’t have the same interest or energy in building media, technology and internet businesses that will compete with this liberal monopoly. Same with journalism and academia. We need to raise conservative children who will step up and claim this territory.
“...he doesnt has not much regret...”
University of Maryland is turning out some excellent journalists...*ROFL*
I fully expect Trump to be banned next summer.
It reportedly pushed QAnon conspiracy theories about Democrats murdering children, tweeting last week a meme that targeted former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Daily Beast reports.
Because I have to counter with:
It reportedly pushed CNN conspiracy theories about Trump being a traitor, a Russian Agent, having stolen the Election of 2016, showing on TV panel after panel, report after report, that targeted President Donald Trump, as a racist, a rapist, a concentration camp advocate, among other charges--daily for three plus years.
Yes. I got suspended for this:
That violates nothing. But you can sure see what we’re in for from now until election time.
Then they're deemed racist, white supremacist, conspiratorial, etc. and are then targeted for destruction.
Gab, a racist-friendly alt-Twitter, has been banned by PayPal and others
I hate to use the phrase, 'it's not fair' but Conservatives are not allowed to have their own platforms.
Telling the obvious truth on social media will get you banned without justice or any recourse.
Geez...Dems are a bunch of idiots.
This occurs because the Left is centrally organized and centrally funded...including business investment, which is why Leftists dominate successful social and retail industries (The Soros billions and Rothschild billions are great examples). Leftist money seeks out and organizes Leftist business for investment. And they are always looking for the next cutting edge to dominate.
On the conservative side, there is no centrally organized funding mechanism for business or social causes...its more of a free-for-all and each man for himself. If you get lucky and find a conservative out on the cutting edge, great, but theres no organized financial effort, such as on the Left, to develop them.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE TRUE ENEMIES OF AMERICA.
Not to mention their openly encouraging and pandering to the illegal alien vote.
