Summary

Any future ad $ either organization was planning to spend with @Twitter has been halted until they address this disgusting bias.”The National Republican Congressional Committee soon followed suit, as did Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), a frequent critic of the social media platform, who called the move “unbelievable even for Twitter.”A Twitter spokesperson did not directly respond to a request for comment on the Republicans’ plans to halt their ad spending.“The users were temporarily locked out of their accounts for a Tweet that violated our violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety,” the spokesperson said.McConnell’s campaign manager, Kevin Golden, accused Twitter of employing a double standard.“We firmly believe that if a platform allows #massacremitch to trend but locks our account because we posted threats made against him, there is something deeply wrong with that platform,” Golden said Thursday, referring to a hashtag used by critics blaming McConnell for blocking stricter gun laws.In a radio interview early Thursday evening, McConnell said his campaign is in a “major war” with Twitter.“The point we wanted to make is, Twitter’s perfectly fine with carrying ‘#MassacreMitch,’ which is obviously an invitation to violence,” McConnell said on Louisville-based station WHAS.
