Vivek Ramaswamy censored for online ‘hate speech’ as poll shows surge
NY Post ^ | 5.25.2023 | Josh Christenson

LinkedIn has censored GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for “misinformation” and “hate speech” in seemingly anodyne posts about climate change and the threat of China — as a new internal poll shows him third behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump among Republican primary voters.

The entrepreneur’s account has been blocked for more than a week over three posts deemed offensive by LinkedIn, specifically:

“The CCP is playing the Biden administration like a Chinese mandolin.”

“If the climate religion was really about climate change, then they’d be worried about, say, shifting oil production from the U.S. to places like Russia and China.”

“The climate agenda is a lie: fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity.”

On Thursday morning, Ramaswamy tweeted a screenshot of a Tuesday email from LinkedIn that read: “Your account was restricted for repeatedly sharing content that contains misleading or inaccurate information.”

Democrats would never win in a fair election.

Thus they have to shut down the opposition by any means necessary, legal, ethical, moral, or not.

I must say, if I had to vote today, I would probably vote for Vivek.

He is clearly a smart guy. Saying all the right things, making all the right enemies.

Is he ready to be President? No - we have seen what the deep-state, its controlled-media, its DOJ/FBI, its Soro DA’s can do to a person without their own political network/army

This is the thing I would advise Vivek to do: start building a team, the folks who will be in your cabinet, don’t make the same mistake Trump did, which was waiting until he was already in office before determining who would be in his cabinet.

He’s a fool to think a far left site like LinkedIn is a good place to make his posts in the first place.

I can’t help but like the guy. He’s young, very smart, and has the right enemies.

That would be appropriate, and encouraging.

Yes, they bought it but it was always run by a bunch of lefties. Probably have the same bunch still running it, just under MS’s umbrella now.

There are no grounds for complaint when you insist on continuing to stick your finger in the flame...

Particularly when the flame is controlled by the American communist party...

How would linked in know what is and what isn’t “misinformation”?
