I just opened a new Twitter account. I indicated an interest in politics, without saying I was a Republican or a Democrat. These are the names that came up as recommendations to follow.....

This is outrageous. They left out Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

To clarify, I was not the one who opened a new account...

I saw this retweeted on Sebastian Gorka's feed.

I have never once set foot on the Twitter platform.

I will die before I ever ‘tweet’.

Surprised they’re not promoting Obama and Clinton at the top of everything anymore. What changed, I wonder?

Not a twit user but I hope this is being brought to Trump’s attention.

Interesting — Florida locale.

Was there something else, like being in a blue city (Gainesville, Tampa, Miami, etc.) that might have had Twitter say ah, this person is likely interested in looie liberal politics?

Twitter has obviously trashed any IQ requirements, not?

Forgot to add, if they’ve got McExcrement and Fauxahantis there, they’re fishing in dumbass lake.
