Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s constant attacks put her life at risk.
Under Twitter’s safety rules, users “may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so.”

This is where I expect the Democratic establishment to step up and carry the battle to Trump. This is nothing short of outrageous.
Again, not sure which is worse about Twitter, anonymous assholes, or loud and public ones with an imprimatur that it’s really them.
… and with the feeble House Dems we have right now, NOTHING will be done or accomplished to stop the orange clown… oh, wait you mean they’ll “send a stern letter to him not to do so”?.. I repeat, NOTHING will be done by the current House Dems
“This is from a CBC event we hosted this weekend to celebrate black women in Congress,” Omar shot back. “The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk.”
“What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?” she asked.
Describing that outright inflammatory malicious falsehood as “misinformation”, while true, seems too mild. It’s like saying Der Stürmer had an editorial slant.
Although I agree with you, this where I simply do not expect anything from House Dems. They really are proving themselves incapable against the most ignorant POTUS in American history. How the hell does that happen?
The human race is probably not fit to survive much longer, like so many other species of life on the planet. Bedbugs have a much better outlook.
“What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?” she asked.
Making big bucks.
‘Twitter’ and ‘tweet’ are such manly terms, no wonder Orange Julius Caesar is so infatuated.
However, a Twitter spokesperson told TPM that the social media site “did not take action” on the tweet because Williams had deleted it himself.
Well, that’s convenient. Post malicious lie, delete it. Oopsie! And repeat! No harm, no foul, right twitter?
Trumps own Step n fetch it.
Though the real life Step n fetch it was a far more complex character.

Deleted without an apology or correction – Twitter begone.

And they get a heck of a deal at Doral.
I gotta agree with Dorsey on that one. I’m more than happy to allow Trump to continue announcing to the world, multiple times per day, that he’s a dangerously mentally ill and evil megalomaniac and wannabe autocrat. Know thy enemy. Please proceed, Donny.
Maybe Twitter will adopt a “three strikes” rule, complete with unlimited foul balls. Chief Justice Roberts can make the calls.
No mean feat (heh) when his foot is permanently in his mouth, massaging his uvula.
Is it too fucking much to ask that Trump, his enablers, and his supporters bear at least some of the blame for the vile and disgusting things he does? Pretty sure the Democrats don’t control his Twitter account. JFC
The owning lust is strong with these ones.
