Republican groups vow to stop buying Twitter ads until McConnell campaign account is unfrozen

A move by Twitter to freeze the account of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) campaign has prompted a backlash by President Trump’s campaign and national Republican groups, who have vowed to stop buying ads on the social media platform until the account is unfrozen. 

On Wednesday, Twitter locked McConnell’s campaign account from further activity as punishment for its sharing of a video of protesters screaming obscenities outside the Kentucky Republican’s home. The social media company said it will not unlock @Team_Mitch unless it agrees to remove the video. 

Officials for the Trump campaign, the National Republican Committee, and the Republican Senate and House campaign arms accused Twitter of bias and tweeted Thursday that their organizations are withholding their advertising dollars until the issue is resolved. 

“#MassacreMitch trended on @Twitter for a full day, and they did nothing,” Kevin McLaughlin, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in a tweet. “Someone threatens to stab the Majority Leader, @TeamMitch posts the video and THEY get locked out. @NRSC is not spending $ until this is adequately addressed.” 

Richard Walters, chief of staff for the RNC, shared McLaughlin’s post and added: “The @GOP and @TeamTrump stand with the @Team_Mitch and the @NRSC. Any future ad $ either organization was planning to spend with @Twitter has been halted until they address this disgusting bias.”

Is there no conservative out there , or a capitalist who can design a twitter, a Facebook which allows free speech?

[US_MilitaryRules]

That will make twitter shake in their boots! lol

Vow. Do. Don’t announce. Just do. It causes greater institutional stress.

I think the intent of Facetwoogle has been to ramp up censorship until conservatives are all completely silenced a couple of months before the election. We’re not supposed to notice, not enough to do anything about it, anyway.

Yeah cuz team mitch woosed out and removed the video

repubs cave again

I believe GAB was intended to be the alternative to Twitter, but it was purchased away to gain control of it for leftist uses.

Facebook is actually “LifeLog”, a domestic surveillance product designed by Deep State run DARPA (US government funded). With the financial backing of the government and years of development for collection of every little detail of AMerican lives, it was then propped up behind Zuckerberg and he was touted to have created it. For this reason it would seem like if Z could do it, so could others. But, it really took mass quantities of tax dollars, advanced expertise and years to develop “before” Zuckerburg ever pretended he started it so he and other students could talk to each other.

Below, two separate excerpts which show Pentagon's LIFELOG project "killed" the same day Facebook was "born."

Thanks for the info.

[manc]

I have not , but now I have thank you.

[Responsibility2nd]

I don’t know much about Parler. But Gab self-imploded. Sort of like how 8chan did.

Free speech and no censorship sounds great. It does. But Antifa type leftists used 8chan to spread their violent rhetoric. Now they have no cloud platform.

And Gab? Nazi socialists and sick pornographers targeted that place to hang out. Then Google and Apple refused to allow their app in the App Store.

“thinking” about Parler myself...

What’s wrong with the Free Republic? :)

-- That'll show em. --

heheheheh. I'm sure Twitter would IMPOSE the rule that RNC is forbidden from advertsing. it would do so even if a hundred million dollars was at stake.

This is how it should be done. Boycott their platform and hit them in the pocketbook. I have tried to get email campaigns started many times to denounce product and service companies advertised on and sponsoring these platforms. Everyone is too lazy to make the minimal effort and send a couple emails. I even set up and supplied a free and very secure email account server for everyone to use for these efforts.

We used to get together and make a mass effort on a website I used to haunt and it was VERY VERY effective at getting attention.

It is called Gab. And you can ignore all the ignorant posts here that are attacking them. Gab is much cleaner than twitter. It has to be because the Leftists are looking for any excuse to take it out. If it is so leftist as people here are suggesting that it is then why is the left trying desperately to take it out? They are constantly attacking Gabs host as well for hosting Gab. Don’t believe everything you read, and people need to use some common sense or else they just become victims of media brainwashing.

The left is intolerant of any an all forms of communication that they do not control. They are terrified of the alternatives. Don’t be fooled by that game. Wake up. Support Gab or don’t cry when you have no place to go and speak your views without getting banned. Gab has zero tolerance for illegal content or threats of violence.

And I am not saying that there is no porn there. I don’t know. But I have yet to see any.

You can find any of the above on twitter though.
