Yesterday, Facebook removed a campaign video by a U.S. Senate candidate for violating 'policies prohibiting violence and incitement,' because the ad showed the Republican brandishing a shotgun and declaring that he was hunting Republicans in Name Only.
WASHINGTON — Facebook on Monday removed a campaign video by a U.S. Senate candidate in Missouri for violating"policies prohibiting violence and incitement," because the ad showed the Republican brandishing a shotgun and declaring that he was hunting RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only.
Greitens, a former Missouri governor who resigned in disgrace in 2018, enters through the smoke and says, “Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn't expire until we save our country.” Facebook wasn't the only social media company that took action. Twitter said Greitens' post violated its rules about abusive behavior but said it was leaving it up because it was in the “public's interest” for the tweet to be viewable. The company's move prevented the post from being shared any further.“If anyone doesn’t get the metaphor, they are either lying or dumb,” campaign manager Dylan Johnson said in a brief emailed statement.
