Twitter Caves, Temporarily Suspends Kathy Griffin After Alleged Threats to President Trump

Twitter has finally answered after comedian Kathy Griffin’s shocking tweet saying she thinks President Trump should be injected with a syringe full of air. This comes after President Trumps and his Twitter minions raged about at least two of Trump’s tweets regarding mail-in voting being ‘fact-checked’ by Twitter, to which Trump’s Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has promptly fought back with by posting stats about mail-in voting on her own Twitter feed.

The Washington Examiner reported that Kathy Griffin is in ‘Twitter jail’ until she deletes her tweets: “We’ve required the account owner to delete it before continuing back to Twitter,” a Twitter spokeswoman said in an email to the Washington Examiner.

She even responded to the Washington Examiner directly in a previous outrageous, vile, and obscenity-laced post owning her original tweet, where she doubles down on the advocating for President Trump to be injected with air. She tweeted: “I SURE DID FUCKER”. See below:

It’s yet to be seen if Griffin will face a visit from the feds as these apparent threats are very brazen, or if she will delete the tweets to get herself out of Twitter jail. If this is an attempt to appease President Trump’s demands that Twitter stops censoring conservatives, it’s likely nowhere near enough to appease absolutely anyone, but it’s still good to see some accountability for Griffin, nonetheless.

Earlier we reported on Donald Trump Jr.’s response to Griffin’s original air injection tweet, which is now deleted as you can see below, saying that all he wants is free speech for conservatives too, despite the threatening tweets by Griffin. This move appears to have made it clear that Twitter isn’t playing by that idea at all.

I don’t think past their prime comedians who tweet stupid things should be banned on here, but next time @twitter @jack bans a conservative for saying something not PC, just remember they have no problem with Dems making death threats against @realDonaldTrump on their platform. https://t.co/pOd6GXbxhV

Earlier Media Right News reported in part:

Donald Trump Jr. has made a shocking statement in regard to Jack Dorsey’s Twitter and how he thinks things should be handled going forward. Not as shocking of course, as a tweet by Kathy Griffin though, which is the one he is referencing in this particular statement. Kathy Griffin has recently tweeted out that she thinks President Trump should be injected with a syringe full of air.

This is a thinly veiled message of course, which basically says she wishes the president was dead. Many on Conservative Twitter called for Griffin to be banned for this tweet, and called it a threat. It’s clear to most people by now, that it is likely Trump Jr.’s father, President Donald Trump would have been banned or censored to some degree on the social media platform if it were not for the fact that he is indeed President of the United States.
