Mexican President AMLO Condemns Twitter, Facebook for Censoring Donald Trump

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador condemned the social media Masters of the Universe for censoring the accounts of President Donald Trump.

“I don’t like anybody being censored or taking away from the the right to post a message on Twitter or Face(book). I don’t agree with that, I don’t accept that,” said López Obrador, according to a report by the Associated Press on Thursday.

“How can you censor someone: ‘Let’s see, I, as the judge of the Holy Inquisition, will punish you because I think what you’re saying is harmful,'” added Mexico’s president. “Where is the law, where is the regulation, what are the norms? This is an issue of government, this is not an issue for private companies.”

Presidential spokesman Jesús Ramírez added that “Facebook’s decision to silence the current leader of the United States calls for a debate on freedom of expression, the free exchange of information on the web, democracy and the role of the companies that administer (social) networks.”

López Obrador shared these sentiments on Thursday, after Mark Zuckerberg blacklisted President Trump from the Facebook and Instagram platforms “indefinitely,” following the events on Capitol Hill the day prior.

Once again, the "far left" President of Mexico has been an better ally to us than the "conservative" Presidents (Vicente Fox & Felipe Calderon) ever were!

I think Fieldmarshaldj summed up Mexican politics perfectly.

Mexico: Where the communists are conservative, and the conservatives are communists!

Yes, the “socialist” Mexican President stands up for conservatives better than 90% of US elite “conservatives”.

When you’ve reached the point where you deserve to be lectured by the socialist President of Mexico, things have gone horribly wrong.

He’s going to be a very important person in that he can keep hordes of invaders from coming over our borders.

Don’t condemn them, ban the app in your country. We’re so far beyond strongly worded letters or statements.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has more sense than Pelosi and Schumer.

He became a friend of President Trump via negotiations.
Another reason the ems hate Trump, he makes them look silly, tying their silly self righteous agendas to every international issue.

Most allied leaders grew to like President Trump a lot.

And here is one example.

Maybe that wall wasn’t such a good idea after all. How are we going to flee to Mexico? Never thought I would say that.

Hispanics have a looong memory where “holy inquisition” sh** is concerned-fear of persecution by the Spanish Inquisition is why so many of them left their native Spain and sailed to New World 400-500 years ago-including my own ancestors-as a Hispanic, I can say that with a good deal of certainty...

That made me laugh!

Me, running south.
Mexican, running north.
“Where you running, amigo?”
“Freedom baby, freedom”.
“Que”?!

He was also slower than most foreign leaders to acknowledge Joe Biden as President elect. He correctly pointed out that President Trump had not conceded and the election was not yet certified.

You sure buy into a lot of left-wing mythology.
