Lindsey Graham's call for assassination puts Twitter in awkward position after banning Trump

The company's purported ban on threats of violence was called into question on Thursday after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) encouraged Russians to assassinate Vladimir Putin.

"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military? The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service," Graham, a former military prosecutor, tweeted.

Other Twitter users noted the social media company's terms of service say, "You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence."

Here's some of what people are saying about the choices facing Twitter:

Lindsey Graham is definitely testing the bounds of Twitter's terms of service here.

If the senator's tweet isn't marked / removed, should citizens of nations be led to understand that Twitter's new policy is that suggesting people "take out" heads of state is allowed?

Do it. Give him the vapors.

Who knows, Lindsey might be testing Twitter to see if they are consistent. If not, Trump will scream more.
