In Twitter’s latest display of left-wing bias, the platform censored and flagged Rep. Matt Gaetz’s tweet for “glorifying violence.”
Rep. Gaetz tweeted the following:
Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?
— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) June 1, 2020
Soon after, the tweet received a stern rebuke from the Twitter overlords, insisting “this tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.” This is the same rationale the social media platform, self-avowedly left-wing, used to censor a recent riot-related tweet from President Trump.
While Gaetz’s tweet remains flagged, here are 10 other tweets actually “glorifying violence” that Twitter allows to stand sans a warning. Proving yet again that Twitter’s metric for censoring tweets has more to do with the political leanings of the user than the content itself.
I swear to god, I’m going to lose my shit. Omaha better be rioting. The Hive and The Gatsby better burn to the fucking ground. #JusticeForJamesScurlock

All across the country, police are running out of crowd control ammunition and getting surrounded by protesters who outnumber them in magnitudes.
Those police are finding out that there's a lot more of us than there are of them.
Imagine if we were all armed.
