He's referring to the video (that I haven't watched fwiw) that Don Jr retweeted that was taken down, correct?

I'm not taking a position on Twitter's censorship, but I read that hydroxychloroquine was called a "cure" for covid-19 in the video.. which is clearly misleading and not the same as the article citing a study in CNN's tweet.

Taking down loony crackpot videos only further convinces crackpots of their authenticity. See the following link for direct proof.

Wow oh wow

That is just a riot. I do get and love a good conspiracy theory. I love a good jfk theory.

By God everyday everything is not a conspiracy!

The riot about all of this is it was posted by a racist, immigrant and woman hatter. The doctor is a black woman from Cameroon that should be enough on the bullshirt meter for me that Trump truly doesn't give a rats arse what she says it just fit the lie he has been pushing.

How pathetic his followers are they grasp at any and all straws.

My post was sarcasm in regards to Twitter's biased censorship. I don't support the views of all those doctors in the video, especially the crazy one, but why not leave it up with a disclaimer? I only watched the first 2 doctors in the video, but the 1st doctor seemed completely reasonable.

Can you explain how the removal of the video Don Jr. shared and the CNN story you linked show bias in how Twitter decides what content should be removed from their platform?

I have zero sympathy for this asshat. He has consistently pushed back on safety requirements and now has to pay the price.

Louie Gohmert, who’s refused to wear a mask, tests positive for Covid-19 | CNN Politics

Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican who has frequently refused to wear a mask, has tested positive for coronavirus.

Same feelings here. Even just yesterday, he was in the halls either after Barr's hearing or while on a break, yucking it up with a group of people without his mask on. His irresponsibility may have infected lord only knows how many other Congressmen, most likely his GOP compatriots, and their friends and families. All in the name of owning the libs.

I just read that Gohmert was seen walking with Barr in the hallways, both mask-less, on their way to the hearing.

How is it that masks aren't mandatory in any and all federal buildings? Who would be in charge of making that call?

Obama’s fault obviously. He should have made laws for COVID-19 while he was president.

Idiot is actually blaming wearing a mask as the reason he has the virus. I just can't y'all. I can't...

Posted this in the EE too

Don’t know how accurate any of these numbers are

Read the damn article and not the (already edited for clarity) headline.

Chill out. It was a sarcastic post.

I watched the original video of the doctors, and while everyone does keep choosing to pick on the one lady, one of the last doctors who spoke was very matter of fact and was a doctor from UCLA research medical. I was hoping to post something about him here but it seems I cannot find his name anymore to look up some information on him. It's not very comforting the level of scrubbing that is being done like this.

To what end?

Your goal was to demonstrate that Twitter was unfairly applying its guidelines, but your example does not reflect that goal.
