Source: MSN/The Hill
Former Milwaukee Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., a vocal surrogate for President Donald Trump on the campaign trail, was temporarily blocked from tweeting after Twitter users' complaints alerted the company that three of his messages violated the terms of service, CNN has learned.
Clarke was placed in read-only mode until he deleted three tweets that seemed to call for violence against members of the media.
In one of them, which has since been deleted, Clarke told his followers, "When LYING LIB MEDIA makes up MAKE NEWS to smear me, the ANTIDOTE is to go right at them. Punch them in the nose & MAKE THEM TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD. Nothing gets a bully like LYING LIB MEDIA"S attention better than to give them a taste of their own blood #neverbackdown."
The tweet featured a graphic of Trump's face superimposed on that of a wrestler holding another wrestler labeled "CNN," while Clarke's face was superimposed on a wrestler who is kicking "CNN" in the face.

(11,535 posts)It seems as though 45* could be blocked for the same reasons, as well as racist and sexist tweets.
Oh wait, I almost forgot.... rules don't apply to 45* or his clan.
