But aren’t these responses exactly what Kelly wanted?

I’d suggest contacting his sponsors but I suppose at this point they know exactly what they are supporting.

ETA: saw an article from 2018 saying Kelly was banned permanently from Twitter. I don’t think Twitter knows what ‘permanent’ means.

Kelly is Irish I believe.
So let’s build statues to all the coal mine owners in PA who basically held the Irish immigrants, and their children, in slavery through their company housing and stores.
