ST. LOUIS (AP) — A U.S. Senate candidate for Missouri says she has no plans to delete a transphobic tweet that violated Twitter’s rules against hateful conduct, even after the social media platform said she won’t be able to tweet, retweet, follow or like posts until she does.
Twitter suspended [Republican] Vicky Hartzler ’s personal account on Monday.
Hartzler’s tweet, posted in mid-February, said: “Women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women,” and included her TV ad targeting transgender people in sports and particularly University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.
A statement from Hartzler’s campaign called the suspension “shameful, utterly ridiculous, and a horrible abuse of censorship by big tech giants to stifle free speech.” The campaign said Hartzler will not delete the tweet.

I believe the social media oligarchs are the enemy of all that is wholesome and good in the world, my question is “what are we going to do about it?” All these Republicans running for congressional seats right now, what do they have to say about it? Is the only solution to set up alternative media platforms? I’d really like to see some workable ideas on how to untie this Gordian knot... (short of Alexander’s simple solution).
Get off Twitter. Other better ways to campaign.
Sadly, so many of idiots nowadays fail to comprehend the meaning of “phobia”, yet throw it around every chance they get.
This is a preview of how Big Tech will silence any conservative ahead of the November election and suppress any story detrimental to the Dems.
The Hunter Biden laptop story was just the first successful wide-scale news suppression test by Big Tech; and it worked.
Follow the science,,, that should be the message to all those that support this perversion.
You are quite wrong.
It's about, "How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?"
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables...”
Yo man
The media is all truth now
Soros is a hero
Liz Cheney too
Vive Macron!
It’s a new world baby
Let’s go get us some Russkies!
I’m gonna plunder me a few super models ....maybe Ukes will throw a few my way too in appreciation for my keyboard valor and gallantry
We can Viking pillage metaphorically
Led by our glorious media tech complex and the uniparty
Can I get an amen ?
If I encountered the twitter employee who did this, I would literally lay hands on this person and slap them until they cried.
I am tired of fascists thinking they can tell other people what to say or censor what they do say.
How the heck is that in any way “hateful”?
The largest left-wing PACs ever!
So Twitter’s official position is that “Women’s sports are for women AND for men pretending to be women”?
I have had a Twitter account since they first started up in 2006, but only use it to follow other people. I have tweeted a total of one time on the day I opened the account.
What’s that saying?
“speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act,”
“Women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women,”
Men who claim to be “women” are only women from the neck up. And further, mutilating themselves doesn’t change that. When a castration takes place on a male dog does that make them a female dog? NO!

How is this even an issue, commonsense tells us that allowing genetic males to compete in women’s sports is an unfair advantage and will result in these ‘transexual women” taking all the top slots. Woke ideology is just the modern day equivalent of the ‘big lie’ they are attempting to impose on us or our civil rights will be canceled under the guise of being ‘haters’. This is commie level totalitarian stuff meant to stifle free speech which might deviate from the narrative they insist we comply with. I can’t believe there isn’t more push back against this.
We should delete twitter.
Transgender men don’t play men’s sports....discrimination?
