We just checked, and Ryan Saavedra’s tweet is missing from our post on that mob that formed in front of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home, along with the accompanying video of a “protester” saying that someone should just “stab the motherf**ker in the heart.”
The Daily Wire’s Saavedra says that Twitter asked him to delete the tweet with the video of the mob doing its thing, for McConnell’s safety.
Twitter asked me yesterday to delete this tweet:
It showed a person allegedly calling for violence against Mitch McConnell
The person appears to be a BLM activist who has met with Elizabeth Warren
I said no and they suspended me *and* McConnell's re-election campaign

Don’t forget that Twitter was fully on board with Black Lives Matter and even painted a huge #Ferguson hashtag on its headquarters wall, and CEO Jack Dorsey went to Ferguson to join the protest marches and hand out flowers.
They told me, in a private message, that they were going to remove the video contained in the tweet, which was embedded from someone else's account
They also asked me to delete my tweet, which was separate
My tweet was newsworthy and factually accurate
I said no

They said it was for McConnell's safety that they wanted the video removed
They could have removed the video and not my tweet
Keep in mind, Twitter allowed (#)MassacreMitch to trend on the platform for days and there are multiple tweets on this platform that list where he lives

McConnell's re-election campaign, @Team_Mitch, also shared the video, presumably to show the hatred and violence from the Democrats
Twitter also suspended their account for sharing the video
Again: Twitter suspended McConnell's campaign for showing the hatred directed at him

Here are the messages that McConnell's re-election campaign received from Twitter telling them that they could not expose the hatred coming from the Democrat Party directed at McConnell pic.twitter.com/sECCRXRYYd

“Your account has been locked,” Twitter wrote to Team Mitch. “We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules.”
Far-left protesters went to McConnell's home screaming @ him for gun control as he recovers from injury
A protester, who appears to be a Warren supporter, said somebody should "just stab the motherf*cker in the heart"
Another said they want someone to use a "voodoo doll" on him

McConnell, 77, fell and broke his shoulder. He sometimes has problems walking due to an issue w/his leg because he suffered from Polio as a kid
One of the protesters shouted: He's in there nursing his little broken arm, he should have broken his little raggedy wrinkled ass neck"
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 7, 2019
The protester screamed: "F*ck yo neck, b*tch. Murder Turtle! Murder Turtle! … F*ck yo thoughts and prayers … F*ck you, f*ck yo wife, f*ck everything you stand for"
Keep in mind, these are the same people who demand that law-abiding Americans give up their guns

I told Twitter that their logic did not make sense, that they wanted the tweet for McConnell's safety, because of many of the tweets they leave up and claim do not violate their rules
I pointed out these tweets to Twitter as examples: https://t.co/wpgQFUEEd1 pic.twitter.com/dqnWtLwQv9

This pic is of Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, who was falsely smeared by the media
Sandmann and his school received death threats over what happened
Twitter took no action against this tweet
Sandmann is a minorhttps://t.co/FuPhmcH4Hq pic.twitter.com/paUNr2Gl3t

Peter Fonda called for women in the Trump administration to stripped naked and physically beaten
He called for Trump admin officials to have their kids taken from them and thrown in cages with pedophiles
Twitter allowed him to keep his verified account https://t.co/Zww5HmvDUt

We thought Twitter’s No. 1 priority was “election integrity,” and they’re pulling video that certainly looks like news to us and locking Mitch McConnell’s campaign’s account?
This will get much worse as we enter the 2020 election cycle.

I was told today that Reza Aslan’s calls to violence were not in violation of Twitters rules. Yet here you are suspended for merely retweeting a video of someone else actually threatening to murder an American citizen. Twitter is a platform that openly condones leftist hate.

Back to convo w/Twitter:
They said that they were concerned about McConnell's safety, yet the Black Lives Activist / Warren supporter who called for McConnell's death is still allowed to have an account on Twitter
Keep in mind, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is a big BLM supporter
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 7, 2019
This is the activist who appears to have recorded the video and is the one who appears to have made many of the vile remarks toward McConnell pic.twitter.com/7AoiVJnGyY

That far-left activist is a member of Louisville Democrat Mayor Greg Fischer's "Synergy Project," which essentially is an anti-violence taskforce
Reminder, this activist allegedly said McConnell should be stabbed in the heart and have his neck broken https://t.co/lePC1pTdG0
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 7, 2019
That activist doubled down on saying the following about McConnell:
"Just stab the motherf*cker in the heart"
The Courier-Journal reports: "[The activist] said she doesn't regret her comments."https://t.co/YyRHRheEWg
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 7, 2019
The hate that Twitter allowed to trend for days literally showed up at McConnell's home
Far-left protesters showed up with signs that featured the hashtag (#)MassacreMitch pic.twitter.com/L7zMeWFaMt

Is it any surprise this is happening?

Let's be intellectually honest here: if Obama tried to regulate private tech companies like this, us conservatives would have passed out in an apoplectic rage. https://t.co/ek4hDetinu

She’s right, but come on. At least cut the act.
