Twitter has restricted a Monday tweet from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), saying it glorifies violence, a move that comes after also cracking down on some of President Trump's tweets last week.
The Florida lawmaker and vocal Trump ally tweeted in response to Trumps Sunday announcement on Twitter that anti-facist activists, or antifa, would be formally designated as a terrorist organization.
Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East? Gaetz posted.
Twitter restricted the tweet, preventing it from being liked, replied to or retweeted. Before the social media platforms action, the tweet had been retweeted more than 12,000 times, The Verge reported.
A Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement that the "public interest notice" was placed on the tweet because it was "in violation of our glorification of violence policy," which forbids the threatening of violence against an individual or group.
