Twitter locked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign account Wednesday for posting a profanity-laced video of protesters hurling threats toward the GOP lawmaker’s Kentucky home.account was “temporarily locked out of their account for a Tweet that violated our violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety.
That moniker is a reference to McConnell's opposition to gun control legislation in the wake of recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. Golden slammed Twitter over its decision, which he said the campaign unsuccessfully appealed. He said the company informed the campaign the account will remain locked until the video is deleted.
“This is a problem with the speech police in America today,” Golden said. “Twitter will allow the words ‘Massacre Mitch’ to trend nationally on their platform. But locks our account for posting actual threats against us.” The statement echoes longtime complaints from Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who accuse Twitter, along with Facebook and Google, of being biased against conservatives, a charge the companies deny.
