Twitter suspends Steve Bannon after he suggests beheading Fauci and Wray
NY Post ^ | en Feuerherd

Posted on 11/05/2020 9:54:25 PM PST by conservative98

A Twitter account for a podcast run by former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was permanently suspended by the social media company after he suggested beheading Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Bannon, speaking on his “War Room” podcast, said Trump shouldn’t just fire Wray and Fauci, he should dismember the government officials “as a warning to federal bureaucrats.”

“I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England,” Bannon said in the bizarre rant.

“I’d put the heads on pikes. I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats, you either get with the program or you’re gone,” he added.

In an email, Twitter said they “permanently” suspended Bannon’s @WarRoomPandemic account after Bannon’s rant.

Can’t read Chinese, but assume that relates to China’s inability to comprehend our divided government.

Totally agree. Bannon rocks and more than a few heads belong on pikes.

I know. I was watching it when it was shut down.
I am sure what he said was “ tongue in cheek” and there are SO MANY others on FB and Twitter I would guess ( Don’t know because I’m not on either)...that are far worse and yet accepted.
I don’t understand the Big Tech groups a lot but from what I have been hearing, I hope that at some point the Senate can step in and regulate exemptions for some of these Big Tech groups!

Oh but Alec Baldwin saying “We should go to Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death....And then we should go to his house and kill his family.” is perfectly ok.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

perfect example of the double standard.

I was only on FB for about 2 months about 14 years ago. Got off of it then as I saw problems brewing.
Told the grandchildren they have my email address and home address, phone. Call sometime!!

Bannon obviously knows that Trump has no such authority. It was just rhetorical nonsense, not a threat. And of course, social media completely over-reacts when a conservative can be banned.

it is a common proverb with multiple layers of meaning.

a loose literal translation is

under the sky, we are all one family.

or

we all live under a common sky.

in china, under the sky can denote either the universe, or the world, or the legal dominion of the chinese government. one family can mean either we look out for each other, or that we all need to live cooperatively for the common good.

alternately, in ST-ese, “you will be assimilated. resistance is futile.”

haha

He could have avoided Twitter’s wrath simply by appending the phrase “...in the name of Allah”.

Bannon’s War Room has been incredible for the last couple of weeks. They’ve been knocking it out of the park. First on the Hunter releases, then the CCP involvement, and now on real election coverage. Really good work. Which is why they have to be censored by big tech.

The comments were taken massively out of context, as usual.

Do we have freedom of speech or not?

Before you take a media outlet’s word for what he or his team said... please go read or listen for yourself first.

Fauci is responsible for these deaths. He never looked at the big picture. Fauci is full of crap.

I’m guessing your reply is not for me.

Freedom of speech only exists for communists, socialists and democrats. Conservatives are regularly banned, de-platformed, lose employment, locked up.

So guess in the US, it’s freedom of speech with Chinese characteristics

The good news is Bannon won’t even have to shrink Fauci’s head to wear it around his neck.

Just the sight of Fauci greatly agitates me. Absolutely can’t stand him.

[ Poor choice of words for Twitter knowing how delicate many ears there are but one of my old bosses used that phrase almost daily.

“I’ll have his head on a pike (or spike)” ]\

Head on a platter is a nother one!

Or I will have his head for this!

But Kathy Griffith can pretend to behead Trump, and that’s OK. Numerous people there can chant “Burn the pigs (police)! Fry ‘em like bacon!” and that’s OK. Yeah, we need libtards and Dims like we need ebola.

Big deal. My boss and I always joke about using the guillotine on undisciplined employees.

Did the tech overlords ever ban that despicable female carrot-top with the fake gory severed president’s head?
