Andy Ngo explains why he won't delete the 'hateful' tweet that got him locked out of Twitter

As Twitchy reported Monday, journalist Andy Ngo was banned from tweeting after Twitter accused him of “hateful conduct.” That hateful conduct was responding to a post by Chelsea Clinton about the “epidemic of violence and hate” against trans people, particularly black trans women. That “epidemic” comprised 150 murders of trans people since 2013.

Ngo responded, “The US is one of the safest countries for trans people. The murder rate of trans victims is actually lower than that for cis population. Also, who is behind the murders? Mostly black men.”

Twitter considered that a violation of its hateful conduct policy and suspended Ngo. Dave Rubin has been texting with Ngo and posted this text.
