Twitter Boots Conservative Actor James Woods. His Response is Absolutely Perfect.
Twitter, a company that is notorious for banning conservatives and right leaning content on its social media platform, has decided to take action against outspoken conservative actor James Woods, suspending his account.
An officiale for the company, who was not authorized to speak in an official capacity, told the Daily Wire they were suspending accounts for tweeting “pieces of media” — which includes memes and graphics — that they claim “falsely portrays certain messages as coming from the Democratic Party.”
Smells fishy, right?

Well, as it turns out, Woods is not backing down.
The official said that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) “flagged” the content for Twitter and the platform deemed it was part of a “misinformation campaign” that was being viewed as a “targeted voter suppression initiative.”
The official said that they would do the same for the Republican National Committee (RNC), but did not know if the Republicans had ever flagged content for Twitter to review, or if the platform had ever taken the same actions for Republicans in the past. The Daily Wire spoke to multiple officials throughout the Republican Party about whether the party had ever flagged content for a social media platform to review — none of the officials were able to find any specific instances.
Sarah Miller, Wood’s girlfriend, wrote in a tweet that Woods was suspended for the following tweet:
This is the tweet @RealJamesWoods was locked for.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the “Streisand Effect” kicked in and it was retweeted 10,000 times?
Retweet at your peril. @jack is watching… 👀#FREEJAMESWOODS pic.twitter.com/eIZpGkOk6A

Woods was told that if he deleted the tweet the suspension on his account would be lifted.
Woods initially responded with a short message to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, saying: “You are a coward, @jack. There is no free speech for Conservatives on @Twitter.”
Hey guys, @Twitter has locked @RealJamesWoods’ account.

Woods has stated that he has zero plans for removing the tweet.
“The irony is, Twitter accused me of affecting the political process, when in fact, their banning of me is the truly egregious interference,” Woods told the AP. “Because now, having your voice smothered is much more disturbing than having your vocal chords slit. If you want to kill my free speech, man up and slit my throat with a knife, don’t smother me with a pillow.”
“I wish this were about an unknown Twitter user so that I could be even more passionate about it,” Woods continued. “This is not about a celebrity being muzzled. This is about an American being silenced — one tweet at a time.”
For those asking, Jimmy sent out this email to his friends today. He hasn’t made any press statements, this expresses his feelings on the matter. #FreeJamesWoods @RealJamesWoods pic.twitter.com/6y1kvKhgVX

What makes this issue so serious is that, while Twitter is absolutely a private company that can decide for itself what kind of content it allows, the site, along with other social media giants, has become a huge player in the dissemination of information and news in the world.
Therefore, for them to promote content that only shows one side of the story while they actively suppress the other side is extremely dangerous, and frankly, shouldn’t be allowed.
Which is what makes this situation so tricky. By asking the government to get involved, it’s creating bloated bureaucracy and involvement in freedom of speech that we don’t the government to have.
If we don’t do something, people only get one side of the story and the left benefits long term from that.
Very bad situation, folks.

AOC May Have Committed ‘Major Ethics Violation’ After Startling Discovery Uncovered
Kind of a big deal!
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend, Riley Roberts, was found to have a government email address.
Her team was quick to say that Roberts was not a member of AOC’s staff, therefore he’s not earning a salary.
From Daily Mail:
take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to Flag And Cross updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.Her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti also argued the move was normal for a spouse or partner.
He wrote: ‘He’s not paid. We have no volunteers in the office. He’s not doing any government work. He can see her calendar just like spouses/partners/family members in other congressional office.
But something’s up.
You see, Roberts is actually listed in Alexandria’s staff directory.
LOOK:
Hey @AOC – A friend of mine who works in the House just sent me this screenshot of your staff directory from the internal congressional database.
Contrary to your denial, it lists your boyfriend as being on your staff. Care to explain why you appear to be lying? pic.twitter.com/My8ixAJyXC

Is this a “major ethics violation?”
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk says, yup.
.@Aoc is having a tough week
She ran Amazon out of NYC killing 25,000 working class jobs for her constituents she pretends to fight for
She is accused (with strong evidence) of breaking ethics rules by hiring her boyfriend on staff
Green New Deal political joke of 2019
— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 15, 2019
Wow – @AOC denies her boyfriend is on her staff and yet this official document lists him on your staff
Starting to look like a major ethics violation and you lied to cover it up. https://t.co/7QyMfm4y4b

Alexandria’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti openly supports a man who was an Hitler “ally.”
Here is AOC's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti wearing a tee shirt of a fascist who worked with the Nazis. Weird! https://t.co/JUuYgiyuGx pic.twitter.com/GrVsKJ1dFA

More from Liberty Nation:
Saikat Chakrabarti is a highly motivated, smart guy. A Harvard grad, he founded a web tools company, Mockingbird. He is a founder of Justice Democrats, the PAC set up with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, was instrumental in getting AOC elected, and is presently going through congressional training to learn how to become an effective chief of staff for the Dems’ golden girl.
Based on a recent clothing choice, Chakrabarti might justifiably be considered a Nazi sympathizer. But really? Well, yes. In his latest love-fest video for AOC, Chakrabarti is sporting a tee-shirt that features a portrait of Subhas Chandra Bose. Not familiar with this former Indian head of state? Here a few facts:
-Bose was an ally of Adolf Hitler and met with him personally in 1942.
-Bose founded the Free India Legion (FIL) made up of troops captured by Nazi Field Marshal Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
-The FIL swore an oath to Hitler and was under SS command.
-Bose teamed up with the Japanese in 1943.
-Bose was an admirer of the USSR and sought to implement its authoritarian practices in India.

At a press conference for Sunshine Movement, which is far-left, Alexandria compared her midterm election victory to the Civil Rights Movement.
There are no words to explain this ignorance. It would be funny if it was meant to be parody.
WATCH:
She also thought her win was comparable to the moon landing.
AOC: “This is not just about a clean new deal. This is about a new deal for the United States of America.”
“Because in every moment when our country has reached the depths of darkness, in every moment when we were at the brink, at the cusp of an abyss and we did not know if we would be capable of saving ourselves, we have. We’ve done it. We’ve dug deep and we’ve done what we thought was impossible.”
What an utterly ridiculous comparison to make.

Former Governor Mike Huckabee had some thoughts:
Ocasio-Cortez compares her election to moon landing. Huh? Big difference. Moon landing was LUNAR, not LOONEY; Moon landing done by ppl who knew what they were doing…those who elected someone who thought there were 3 branches of Congress did NOT. https://t.co/Kc3nvvByN3

Here’s another wild clip featuring the gaffe-prone Democrat Socialist:
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "We are the party of King, of Roosevelt, of the ones who went to the moon!"

#2. It happened under President Nixon, a Republican. pic.twitter.com/jmbv40ZTb5— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 7, 2018
AOC also needs everyone to know that “people are going to die” if something isn’t done about climate change.
People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP.
It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent.
That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy. https://t.co/bn6NloGlaY
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 23, 2018
Maybe Alexandria didn’t get the message that large outfits often falsify their data to make it seem as if things are worse than they are?
Ugh. It’s going to be a long two years covering this one.
Alexandria is apparently looking for attention, sending what was clearly a bold-faced lie on Twitter.
See it:
People keep giving me directions to the spouse and intern events instead of the ones for members of Congress 🤦🏽♀️
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 14, 2018
What’s the problem?
Republican consultant Arthur Schwartz has the answer:
At dinner with a congressman. He said there were no intern events today that he knows of. His staff said same. #liar https://t.co/1McNy3LNzH

Facepalm.

JIG IS UP! Chicago Police Believe Jussie Smollett Paid Men to Orchestrate Assault
And the Oscar goes to…
And the Oscar goes to…Jussie Smollett for “Hate Crime!”
Just as many people suspected from the start, sources within the Chicago Police Department now firmly believe the “Empire” actor’s story was a complete and utter hoax.
What will liberals have to say about this?

— Rob Elgas (@RobElgasABC7) February 17, 2019
Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation tell CNN that Chicago Police believe actor Jussie Smollet paid two men to orchestrate an assault on him that he reported late last month.
The sources told CNN the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.
[…]
The sources told CNN there are records that show the two [Nigerian] brothers purchased the rope found around Smollett’s neck at a hardware store in Chicago.
Smollett even reimbursed the brothers for buying the rope.

Originally, the report was that Smollett was attacked by two men who yelled, “This is MAGA country.” Likewise, Smollett told authorities that his attackers were white.
Not long after, Smollett’s neighbors doubted his story and ABC Chicago said Smollett may have staged the attack.
On Smollett’s neighbors, via New York Post:
CHICAGO — Nearly two weeks after “Empire” star Jussie Smollett claimed he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack, cops have yet to identify any suspects — and some people in his tony Chicago neighborhood are growing skeptical.
[…]
“I’ve been in this neighborhood five years. I don’t believe it, not around here … Half the people are gay and the other half are black.”
WATCH:
From ABC Chicago, who noted that Smollett staged the attack with the help of others because he was being written off the show.
From ABC 7:
Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of “Empire.”
ABC’s Robin Roberts interviewed Smollett, where he proceeded to stick to the lie.
Jussie said he was baffled that people didn’t beleive him. Apparently, he’s justt not thatt good of an actor, huh?
If Smollett was being written off the show prior to this insane “hate crime,” what will happen to him now?
Will social justice warriors voice their support? Will he maybe get his own spinoff?
How about Smollett pays for his crime and serves his time? That seems like the most appropriate response.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for lefties to say they were sorry for jumping on the Jussie badwagon, though.
They’ll hold strong togetther and atempt to take the conversattion toward “racism in America.”
Count on it.
