Twitter Censoring Post About Democrat Trump Supporter Crowd Surfing

I found this great post from The Federalist about Democratic Rep. Vernon Jones of Georgia, who endorsed Trump, crowd surfing at a Trump rally in Macon, Georgia, on Friday.

I logged into Hootsuite to post to my Facebook page and Twitter. Facebook allowed the post, Twitter did not. They demanded I make ‘edits’ to the post for it to go through. I changed everything around that I could think of but Twitter still refused to allow me to post it.

Here’s the exact post as it appears on Facebook:

The only change I made was the update that Twitter wasn’t allowing it. I thought maybe it was a Hootsuite glitch (which happens often), but it wasn’t.

Listeners also posted that Twitter wouldn’t let them post the link either.

Potentially harmful? Yeah, to the Democrat narrative maybe.

I just tried it again directly on Twitter‘s website.

The Federalist’s Twitter is not suspended. They are also posting several of their articles from their website. It appears to be just this article at the moment. Though, The Federalist has been censored by Twitter many times before.

I was able to post my Facebook link to the article on Twitter.

Here’s Rep. Davis’ tweet about the crowd surfing:

Surfing with @realDonaldTrump #deplorables and #PeacefulProtesters in Macon, GA. Put Georgia in the win column. We were seven thousand plus strong. This #trumptrain is about to steam roll over corrupt @JoeBiden, #fakeliberalnews, and the @DNC #FeelTheVern! pic.twitter.com/tNx87wfEEI

He looks like he’s having fun.

His post led to a deluge of the Blue Checkmark Brigade accusing him of spreading COVID. The same people who say riots, protests, and Lakers fans aren’t spreading the virus at their mass public gatherings.

Yes, I surfed that crowd!

To the haters – stay mad! You’ll be even more mad come November 3rd!

LOL!

So, why would Twitter censor The Federalist’s article but not dozens of other posts about the crowd surfing?
