Twitter explained why it decided to permanently ban President Donald Trump: "After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them – specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter – we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence."
Trump gave a long, raucous speech, in which he claimed election fraud, in front of supporters an hour before a mob stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6. This horrific siege took place during a joint session of Congress. After the violent disruption, former Vice President Joe Biden was officially certified the winner.
Trump said: "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong for our country, our country."
Democrats in the House have impeached Trump again because of his pre-Capitol building siege speech.
George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, a Democrat, wrote: "Like others, I condemned those remarks as he gave them, calling them reckless and wrong. I also opposed the challenges to electoral votes in Congress. But his address does not meet the definition for incitement under the criminal code. It would be viewed as protected speech by the Supreme Court." Similarly, Democrat and professor Alan Dershowitz wrote: "Nothing the president said constituted unprotected 'incitement,' as narrowly defined by the Supreme Court over nearly a century of decisions. His volatile words plainly fell on the side of political 'advocacy,' which is protected speech."

Larry, you know that facts to a democrat are like kryptonite to Superman.
You are so going to jail..................... :-)

The traitorous Twitter doesn’t consider Demonicrat threats, physical intimidation, and authorized Antifa insurrection as dangerous and divisive. Twitter only view MAGA supporters objecting to Demonicrat treason as dangerous and divisive.
And the enemydia promote that view.
Because Hillary and the other Dems’ tweets were in line with Big Tech’s narrative. That’s why Big Tech needs be held accountable and prosecuted.
And as I recall, Schumer said something very close to this, referring to the Supreme Court after Kavanaugh was seated, “Be afraid; be very afraid because we’re coming for you”.
Trump said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.”
Democrats believe those words incites bad actors to violent behavior. Hard to believe if I hadn’t lived to witness it.
I would so like to make a bumper sticker like that but stupid SJW’s who have no sense of irony or sarcasm would think I was promoting nazism and destroy my car.
They should take all of these quotes the Rats said about the 2016 election, attribute them to Trump, and then point these quotes to liberals, and then reveal these were really Democrats saying this about the 2016 election.
Good one spot on
Perfect. Just perfect.
Just look at the guy running twitter. A homeless person looks better and does not have a nose ring.
