Gosar should be banned

Link to tweet

Twitter said Monday that Rep. Paul Gosar's (R-Ariz.) sharing of a doctored video to Twitter and Instagram showing him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and attacking President Biden with two swords violates the company's policies.

Why it matters: Dozens of social media users flagged the video, posted Sunday, as a potential violation of Twitter's rules regarding violent threats and the glorification of violence, and other users have called for his Twitter and Instagram accounts to be suspended, the Washington Post reports.

What's happening: A Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company placed a public interest notice on his tweet "as it violates our hateful conduct policy."

"As is standard with this notice, engagements with the Tweet will be limited. People will be able to Quote Tweet the Tweet, but will not be able to Like, Reply or Retweet it," the spokesperson said.

3. axios has a link to the tweet

so i clicked and twitter placed this message above it:

This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about hateful conduct. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible. Learn more

full disclosure: i did not watch the fucking thing

so if you click on the "learn more" you get this twitter page that begins:
About public-interest exceptions on Twitter
https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/public-interest

on edit: so is the "public interest" to give people ideas or encourage violence against aoc & biden? or to document how insane this jagoff is?

4. Gosar is sickening and an outright rank, slimy creep.

He should be removed from Congress but with a two thirds majority needed to vote for expulsion, it would be next to impossible to do. He should be banned outright from Twitter as a start and can't a person be investigated and prosecuted for making outright threats against another person?

6. Republicans, despite the Ten Commandments, love this evil shit

Gosar's hateful, sinful, and violating message of murder is the direct, stinking foul opposite of what the "Christian" churches claim to be in line with.

Why do Republicans hate the Ten Commandments? They should read them sometime. Very informative.
