Rep. Byrne: Bullying, Boycotts, And Censorship – The Left Is Trying To Silence Conservatives
Breitbart ^ | 4-3-2019 | Bradley Byrne (R-AL)

There is something deeply troubling taking place in our country today. Liberal Elites, Big Tech, and the national news media are working overtime to silence conservatives and supporters of President Trump.

Just within the last few days, Twitter suspended the account of the film Unplanned, a new pro-life movie, for no apparent reason other than to censor their message of protecting innocent life and exposing Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. Their Twitter account was only restored after an outcry from conservatives who rightly pointed out that the account did not violate Twitter’s terms of service.

Even after the account was restored, numerous Twitter users, including U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, posted videos on their accounts showing that Twitter was blocking them from being able to follow the “Unplanned” account. While Twitter will assuredly chalk it up to a “bug in their system,” blatant censorship of conservatives by liberal tech companies is nothing new.

This all came after a months-long bullying, boycott, and censorship campaign by liberal activists against Unplanned, and an attempt to block the film from being released in the first place. Once it became clear the movie would be released, these liberal activists pressured television networks not to run commercials promoting the film, solely because it had a pro-life message.

Sadly, this isn’t the only recent case.

In an apparent effort to upstage their Big Tech comrades, liberal Hollywood celebrities have become unhinged over proposed anti-abortion legislation in Georgia that would protect the life of an unborn baby once a heartbeat is detected. Hollywood elites – from Ben Stiller to Alyssa Milano – have gone on profanity-laced tirades over the proposed legislation and have even threatened to cancel film projects in Georgia if the bill is signed into law, risking thousands of jobs over...

No. They are trying to seize power and create an oligarchy.

The Lefty Tech Lords began a conspiracy to mute the Right the day after the November 2016 election of President Trump.

Here is sleazoid Tech Lord Dave "Graboid" McClure ranting onstage on November 9, 2016 about how he and his Lefty techoids cannot allow people like Trump to be elected.

The pig McClure was later caught doing the Biden to the women he was funding as an "angel investor"...

U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne's (R-AL-1st) message is spot on.

He will be running in the 2020 AL GOP primary against U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL-5th) for a chance to unseat the incumbent U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL).

I'm all the way for Mo!

I will be voting Brooks too but, if he doesn’t win the nomination, I will vote Byrne. Abortion Doug has to go.

I havn't thought much about who I will vote for but, you two may be influencing me to vote Brooks.
(I confess, I don't pay close attention to local politics)

We, in turn, must silence our arms.

“No. They are trying to seize power and create an oligarchy.”
