A Huffington Post contributor says he was terminated for posting about Hillary’s health and those posts were deleted late on Sunday evening. He posted this video about it last night, and it’s gotten more than 50k views:
Here’s more from Real Clear Politics:
“It was a very newsworthy thing for me to link out to, people are talking about, that hashtag has been quite popular, and whenever a video concerning a presidential candidate’s health is viewed more than 3.5 million times, somebody who is under contract with The Huffington Post and to AOL should be able to link out to that… without having their account revoked without any notice… late on a Sunday night,” he said.
“I’ve filed hundreds of stories over the years as a journalist and I’ve never had anything like this happen….I’ve never experienced this,” remarked Seaman.
“This is spooky, to me this is extremely spooky – I don’t like it,” he added.
“They’re deleting and censoring commentary on her health – why is that?” asked Seaman. “Do they not want more people to watch that video on YouTube, is that what’s going on here?”
He also tweeted about it:

I can confirm my @HuffingtonPost account is done. IS THIS CHINA? DO PEOPLE NOT HAVE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS? pic.twitter.com/R9O5ElMJ2v

OK, as we’ve noted before, you have NO “First Amendment” right to post on someone else’s site. This is kinda silly.
@deacondana @HuffingtonPost well aware. Journalists publish critiques of power in newspapers and online outlets because of 1A protections

This is pretty odd, but he sounds a little histrionic when saying he fears for his life. I doubt the campaign cares about one guy posting this stuff at Huffington Post when there’s literally thousands posting the same info everywhere else. However, I would not be surprised at all if the far left morons at Huffpo shut down his posts for swinging at their favorite commie, Hillary.
Then again, he only just joined Huffpo about a month ago:
ICYMI: new home for my latest writing over at @HuffingtonPost! Great folk. https://t.co/RbNURftoFz Today's is about Ethereum and Bitcoin

Was he just a free “contributor”? He seems pretty obsessed with Trump and bitcoin:
But this will give Trump’s conspiracy nuts another crazy accusation to obsess over until their candidate loses to Hillary in a landslide. Thanks morons!!
