Less than 24 hours after Trump’s ban from Twitter, Republicans seized on the issue for the midterm elections and beyond

For Republicans, Twitter’s banning of Trump elevated their Silicon Valley concern from the realm of policy to one of outrage. | Jeff Chiu, File/AP PhotoRepublicans are fuming, but the timing of Donald Trump’s Twitter ban couldn't have been better for the party.

“A level of censorship that would make China proud,” James Dickey, the former chair of the Texas Republican Party, said Saturday, describing the ban as a “wake-up call for everyday Americans.” Shepherd said he heard from local activists on Friday and Saturday who are leaving Facebook and Twitter as a result of their frustration with social media, finally “sick and tired of it.”

on Monday, re-upped a late December podcast in which he lit into “big tech tyrants,” writing, “This is what I was warning everyone about last week. Please spread the word before they take us down.”battle of our time,” the talk show host Dave Rubin said on Fox. “There is a war on reality. We are in an information war.”

On twitterbantrump Apply religious freedom as its private company owned by a believer in democracy as religion that can't in good faith serve fascists

Lol. Domestic terrorists complain they can’t plot coups anymore on social media

I'm just glad he has been unplugged from spreading more hate, lies and anti-American rhetoric.

Republicans & GOP are ok with Voter Suppression & Gerrymandering and pushing a propaganda of lies with an insurrectionist movement attacking our capital. But silence them on twitter or facebook and all of a sudden their rights are being treaded upon. Snowflakes- all of them.

Private enterprise can do what it likes on its platform.

Trump's GOP - The Grand Odd Party of Resentments and Victimization

Who’s the arch villain 🦹‍♀️ asshole

Twitter also began deleting some outrageous tweets from the Chine Embassy in the US about Uighur women. Are the Republicans going to complain about that?

Maybe if they were this concerned about Covid their world wouldn't be crashing around them.

Shouldn't you be banned by Twitter as well? You are own by a DICTATORSHIP

And who are the socialists ... the GOP think they can direct the activity of a private company. Companies concerned with the liability of those who are in violation of our laws regarding insurrection & seditious speech see 18 U.S. Code § 2383 & 18 U.S. Code § 2384 respectively

Republicans will lose majority of the elections from here on out because of Trump

free market capitalism as being so mean to me! wE sHouLd sOCiaLiZe TWiTteR!!!

Republicans now have zero credibility

those RetRumplicans do not know anything about technology. All they know is how to shoot a gun and put gasoline into their oversized trucks not safe for the road's load capacity.

You better stop them now

They should focus on Cable Companies. I had to puralized for two Companies

They should focus on Banks instead.

Don’t advocate for the violent overthrow of the duly-elected government, and you’ll prolly be okay, okay? Problem solved. 🇺🇸

GOP is upset about Twitter Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to stir up rebellion Freedom to bear arm was meant for musket pistol not semi auto Just because the constitution says so they abuse the interpretation

Squirrel!!!

The GOP just can't quit demogoging. It's in their blood.

You mean beating the drum of ALL republicans are Trump goons and should have their free speech rights removed goes without any long term repercussions... strange...

No let-up! The midterms start now! Don’t do the Democrat thing of wussing out and just letting them take Congress back!

And that strategy will work for them

I'll seize on Republicans' failure to Impeach Trump for his insurrection riot.

I think any competent Democrat running will tie their Republican opponent to the armed insurrection against the US government, so it’s unclear how effective “Twitter’s mean!” will be in motivating the types of voters the GOP repelled in 2018/2020.

SeasoningWord

Republicans seizing Trump removal from social media platforms as a 2022 midterm issue? Go for it. Here’s the Democrats midterm issue: January 6, 2021.

Twitter trampled the free speech of POTUS while allowing brutal dictators and terrorist to use their platform to organize and cause violence. Twitters days are numbered.

Seized. 😂

Fine. As long as they don’t ignore their bigger problems — like the fact that the party is rotten to the core and now associated with neo Nazis and thugs

Great, make it all about trump.

Lol um...ok When you're desperate I guess

10/01/2021 MEGA CULTO GLOBAL DE DOMINGO | OS PROFETAS DO SENHOR | SeasoningWord

Thank GOD they are not in the Majority anymore+

Idiots

If Biden does what he plans and takes care of business one day at a time midterms won't be an issue. We will always have extreme factions that disagree. We need to stop the insurgency and their attacks. Put them down.That the Capitol was attacked without a defense is treason.

Let them try to use that as a battle cry, we got receipts!

Newsflash: Sedition and insurrection will blow away Twitter being mean to the Rs in every single race. So go ahead Rs, lead with a feather you f-ing traitors.

hope you will seize on the issue of treason. and stop promoting these lies. you know they are lies, and stupid ones too

amazing how the GOP talks about personal responsibility all the while blaming everyone else for their problems. WAAHH!

realDonaldTrump had 75 million people vote for him and is the most ever for a Republican. They need him and saying otherwise is ridiculous

The GOP and Trump enablers have been bashing main street media, the press, correspondents, objective news, all year. What they dislike is not being able to create their own false news/narrative under the guise of free speech. Disingenuous to the core.

The party who constantly uses red herrings like the word socialism... to manipulate its sheep... are now going to argue that private businesses don't control their own platform? SeditionHasConsequences DomesticTerrorism Trump GOPSeditiousTraitors GOP

Because that should be the takeaway from Wednesday's insurrection ... GOPBetrayedAmerica

That says it all: they care about being reelected, being in power. They don't care at all about governing

GOP = Dumb and Dumber: 'Sway' podcast host Kara Swisher discusses Twitter, Facebook banning Trump | ABC News

“A level of censorship that would make China proud,” James Dickey, the former chair of the Texas Republican Party, said Saturday, describing the ban as a “wake-up call for everyday Americans.”

Big Tech should be a core issue for midterms.American high tech oligarchs are a huge worry for the rest of the world too including Europe as they threaten to be latest manifestation of American imperialism.Twitter only made this Orwellian nightmare real by banning Trump.

Archvillian Twitter? Not the domestic terrorists or a raging pandemic ... But twitter? WTF is wrong with you, GOP?

SenateGOP HouseGOP not long now until you are investigated - Should be now!!!!! Impeach/Remove!

Trouble is, the Republicans are wrong, yet again. Trump disobeyed Twitter's rules. He was warned numerous times, but disregarded those warnings, Teitter had every right to suspend his account.

Republicans believe private businesses shouldn't be able to keep terrorists from using their sites to spread their terroristic rhetoric. Is that the side of the argument they REALLY want to defend?
