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’m still #202,589 on Truth Social.”
Damn. I’m #266,456.
I think Hartzler is getting my vote in the GOP primary for Senate here in Missouri. She challenged the election on Jan 6, also.
I live in the KC metro area and love her commercial. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat, but I live in Kansas.
That’s been the problem for a while and the debate about being a public forum or a publisher. They can’t decide to be both when it suits them....but they do every day.
They have become active political players— <<<<
EXACTLY!!!....blatantly so!!......same for the MSM..(see my tagline)
What they call “hateful” they will one day criminalize. Make no mistake about it.
I don’t think it’s working.
I’ve gotten notifications that I’m getting followers but I’m not on yet so they must be bogus followers to keep me on the hook.
Who knows what’s up with Truth....
I am sure this is fine with many of the posters on FR. Seems they love the corporate state and the Democrats, based on their reactions to the situation in Ukraine.
How? Because it violates the left’s narrative and agenda.
Anything that is contrary to the USA’s new new government and corporate narrative (aka: new fascist idealogy) is defined as phobic.
HG Wells was a prophet
The term “hate speech” should be reserved for speech that explicitly advocates for violence. But as we all know, the term is now used for any speech that deviates from PC thought, even slightly.And verbal abuse is anytime you raise you voice or you're not talking to them like they're in kindergarten.
George Orwell couldn’t have written it any better.
XX or XY
You do not get to choose. Sorry.
“...NEVER apologize to the enemy...”
Excellent point. That’s my new tagline. Thanks.
Competition is good. Apparently twitter and trans are benefiting from an unlevel playing field, which won’t be that way forever.
transphobic = the fear of where things are going (with leftists in charge).

Just following the science get you banned. How very 1984 of them.
