A day after Twitter’s CEO was on the hot seat for their censorship of the New York Post, among other entities, we find out that they blocked a Trump Custom and Border Protection official for a tweet celebrating the border wall. Here’s the tweet, via The Federalist:
This is what Twitter cited as their reasoning for the block:
“You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease,” Twitter wrote in an email explaining the suspension.
But Morgan did NONE of that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his tweet whatsoever. Furthermore, if Jack Dorsey doesn’t believe that there are gang members, murderers, sexual predators and drugs entering the country on the border, then maybe he needs to spend time with the Border Patrol at the southern border.
As of about 3:30PM, Morgan was allowed back into his Twitter and the tweet is still there, undeleted:
.@CBP & @USACEHQ continue to build new wall every day. Every mile helps us stop gang members, murderers, sexual predators, and drugs from entering our country.
It’s a fact, walls work. pic.twitter.com/uT5qP7fmNu

Morgan issued a statement with his newest tweet decrying Twitter’s clear bias against the Trump administration:
Back online after Twitter lock out for ~20 hours. @Twitter’s censorship should outrage every American. Not only did Twitter block me from posting, they BLOCKED YOU from the TRUTH.
