Agree, but there are also many that are outright threats against President Trump.
Can you imagine if this happened to Obama?
There would have been mass arrests by the Secret Service, and Holder's/Lynch's DOJ would have indicted them all.

Twitter will remove tweets wishing for President Donald Trump’s death following his and first lady Melania Trump’s Thursday coronavirus diagnosis, the social media giant told Motherboard.
“Content that wishes, hopes or expresses a desire for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against an individual is against our rules,” Twitter told Motherboard, which is part of Vice Media. The company added that the months-old rule applies to posts about the president, and Tweets that violate the policy will be removed.
The social media platform also added that not all tweets that appear to engage in the prohibited behavior will be targeted.
“[We] won’t take enforcement action on every Tweet,” Twitter told Motherboard. “We’re prioritizing the removal of content when it has a clear call to action that could potentially cause real-world harm.”
Zara Rahim, who identifies herself as a previous staffer for former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wrote “I hope he dies” in reference to Trump in a now-deleted tweet.
Cody Johnson, a podcast host and nearly 180,000 followers, tweeted that he thinks Trump’s diagnosis is “funny” and those that agree with him should tell others that they “hope the president dies from the virus.”
Meanwhile, others, including left-wing figures, have wished the president well during his sickness.

Wishing someone dead is not a death threat. They should leave all tweets up. They are only censoring these so they can say they censor evenly. And then keep censoring conservatives.
I agree, leave it all up. In fact they have legal immunity that should be stripped if they censor any content.

I would hope so! They ought to go further than removing the tweet and actually ban those who do for hate speech!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto’s to that! Conservatives not only get deleted but have their accounts locked down!
MAGA! WWG1WGA!
I’m amazed ... maybe Twitter’s worried democrats will look bad to the gullible if they’re allowed to take their masks off for the world to see what they really are...
Really Twitter? No, let those people speak their minds.
It’s how we KNOW what they think.
Twitter knows how bad that looks and that it exposes the left’s evil, and in doing so, turns people away from the party.
