Twitter has suspended the re-election account of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Republicans are furious.
Republicans are vowing not to spend another dime on Twitter ads over the suspension of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's re-election account for a tweet that the social media platform has said violates its terms and conditions.
"The @GOP and @TeamTrump stand with the @Team_Mitch and the @NRSC," RNC Chief of Staff Richard Walters wrote in a tweet."Any future ad $ either organization was planning to spend with @Twitter has been halted until they address this disgusting bias." The GOP organizations' refusal to spend further advertising money with the social media giant only intensifies the party's battle with Twitter over Republicans' claims that it seeks to stifle conservative voices.
The logo of US social network Twitter is displayed on the screen of a smartphone, on May 2 in Nantes, western France."Last night, an angry left-wing mob of Amy McGrath supporters stormed Senator McConnell's Louisville home screaming obscenities and hoping someone would 'just stab the motherf--ker in the heart,'" @Team_Mitch tweeted, along with a video of protesters.they neither had any role in the protests nor condoned them.
