Twitter Allows Mullahs to Issue Death Threats Against Trump

Twitter is nothing if not consistent: Trump is so extremely evil that Twitter is permitting official accounts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, one of the world's premier regimes of color, to threaten to murder Trump and officials from his administration without being banned or even suspended.

Nor did Twitter do anything to the account of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps when it tweeted: "The Islamic Republic of Iran considers vengeance against those responsible for the Baghdad crime to be the right of all believers; whether they are drops in the ocean or bits of sand in the desert they'll seek vengeance next to the criminals' homes."

Rep. Greg Steube commented: "So, the leftist oligarchs at Twitter will allow the to tweet death threats at President Trump, but will deplatform him for calling for a peaceful protest? Last I checked, making death threats is inciting violence."

Rep. Pat Fallon, skewered Twitter's hypocrisy: "In Twitter's safety rules and polices, they say, 'You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people.' If this is the case, why is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, allowed to threaten to kill President Donald Trump? Not only is Twitter exclusively censoring conservatives, but now they are letting Iran's armed forces issue death threats to a former sitting president. Twitter needs to consider following their own policies and immediately remove this tweet."

What could they possibly say? Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was recently banned from Twitter herself, called Twitter "An enemy to America and can't handle the truth." When Twitter allows Iranian officials who shout "Death to America" a platform to threaten an American and bans that same American on false pretenses, it's hard to say that Greene is wrong.

Reuters reported last August that on Twitter, "Taliban spokesmen with hundreds of thousands of followers have tweeted updates during the country's takeover. Asked about the Taliban's use of the platform, the company pointed to its policies against violent organizations and hateful conduct but did not answer Reuters questions about how it makes its classifications. Twitter's rules say it does not allow groups who promote terrorism or violence against civilians."

What explains Twitter's tolerance and magnanimity toward bloodthirsty and repressive Sharia regimes? Do they hate Trump with such passionate intensity that anyone, anyone at all, no matter how evil, who hates Trump also will immediately become Twitter's ally and receive its favor? Why, yes.
