Rep. Matt Gaetz's tweet on hunting antifa hit with warning from Twitter for glorifying violence

Antifa, meaning"anti-fascist," is a coalition of protesters, left-wing activists and self-described anarchists who seek to physically confront and bring down what they deem as the far right.

Gaetz's tweet was quickly flagged by users who said they would report it for promoting the killing of fellow Americans. Once the tweet was shrouded by the notice, however, users could no longer reply or like the post.Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., asked Twitter to take down the tweet entirely, claiming that gun violence survivors were scared that the comments would inspire some people to begin shooting into crowds.

"Spare me your woke virtue signaling. Every real Democrat ran for President and you ran to twitter," Gaetz responded."Governments go after terrorists. Individuals don't. We - the government - should continue to do so. And Antifa is rightly on the list!"Governments go after terrorists. Individuals don’t. We - the government - should continue to do so.

What a despicable little man who is obviously advising trump with misinformation!

chaunceydevega VoteThemOut

This is one of the sensles once u have in GOP

Needs to be voted out this year!!

Gaetz Gets It where it hurts ha ha.

Twitter covered his posts, because enough of us reported his sorry ass for inciting violence. He wants to be like daddy and make things worse than they already are...if that's even possible. Oh and MattGaetzIsATool and we have a CowardinChief running the asylum.

So Twitter defends Antifa? Good to know!

Unbelievable

Jack is all about helping the rioters. Hunting means looking for. Did he say killing?

Good. mattgaetz is irresponsible and just a damn fool. Remember him storming the SCIF?

He's a thug.

He's complaining about that? Would he rather have his account suspended? Because if he wasn't a congressman that's what would have happened.

NO ONE KNOWS IF ANTIFA WAS INVOLVED OR WHITE SUPREMACISTS ...YET...LOL...LET THE ARREST TRACING FINISH THEIR INVESTIGATIONS...

How is this in the public's interest? What’s even a tiny bit interesting about this load of shit?

He boldly admitted Republicans love hunting humans in the middle east too. The republican party is an international and domestic terror organization and its registered members should probably be dealt with as such

Anti fascists v fascists

His nose looks orange. It must have been up realDonaldTrump’s rear end!

Twitter is doing a fine job of burying itself. Calling out tweets for 'glorifying violence' while supporting violence as long as it comes from antifa.

So Twitter doesn’t allow people to talk about hunting government designated terrorists? SMDH

Twitter is protecting the anarchists and is willfully harming the United States and its citizens.

So one bad protester represents all good protesters as Antifa and one bad cop doesn’t represent all cops as KKK ?

It is proved that twitter become part of 3F plan of ccp

Time for Trump Regime to go

gaetz is a trump's puppet 😬😬😬 same as pompeo, barr and pence 😬😬😬😢😢😬

Same guy who tried to intimidate a congressional witness. The Florida panhandle is so classy.

Why is Antifa in quotes? 😂😂😂 We see what you did there NBC.
