Twitter reverses course, unlocks Mitch McConnell campaign account and leaves video that violated threats policy

account was unlocked Friday after several days in limbo over its posting of a profanity-laced video that threatened violence against the Republican Senate majority leader in the wake of the Texas and Ohio shooting massacres.The account had not posted since Tuesday, when it tweeted a video of protesters outside the Kentucky senator's home, one of whom says "just stab the mother---- in the heart" and fantasizes about McConnell breaking his neck.

"After multiple appeals from [other] affected users [who posted the video] and Leader McConnell's team confirming their intent to highlight the threats for public discussion, we have reviewed this case more closely," the company said. "Going forward, the video will be visible on the service with a sensitive media interstitial and only in cases where the Tweet content does not otherwise violate the Twitter Rules.

Golden added that Twitter must not take similar action again in the future. "We look forward to learning more about what steps Twitter will take to ensure that this egregious suppression campaign never happens again." The RNC and Trump campaign had collectively planned to spend $300,000 to $500,000 on Twitter ads in August, depending on the ads' performance, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The video showed the violent anti gun degenerates that he has to deal with. Twitter did the right thing.

I guess 'TWITTER' can be Bought as well?!!!

There is no place for violent videos on Twitter, regardless of the source. We have too much of it in the real world already.

Congratulations on a wise decision by Twitter.

Phooey

Not good enough. Not until the PEOPLE have a control over that corrupt management process. Remove there 230-immunity as a first step if they don't stop manipulating the conversation.

For once the terrorists don't win

Shame on anyone who thought jack had the balls to stick to his guns. 😂

The video was leftist protestors outside Mitch's home calling for his death.
