As Twitchy readers know, Twitter has permanently banned vet, Conservative pundit, and radio talk show host Jesse Kelly. For what, nobody knows. Personally, this editor thinks it was his horrible takes on food (Velveeta Jesse, really?), but since Twitter has yet to give Kelly a concrete answer we may never know.
Typical.
Kelly went on with Tucker Carlson to talk about the banning and boy howdy did he light Twitter up.
Watch:
Jesse Kelly on Twitter banning him: “They’ve given me no explanation — as they told Congress they would give explanations. All they sent was an email that said, ‘You are permanently banned and you can’t appeal it’”
Kelly also noted Twitter’s hypocrisy with Louis Farrakhan. pic.twitter.com/Onnmp2BR6D

Awww yes, remember when Jack told Congress Twitter would provide explanations when people were suspended? Then again, he also swore up and down that there is no bias against Conservatives on his platform so yeah … whatever.
Kelly continued:
Jesse Kelly on what will happen if Twitter keeps censoring conservatives: “It’s going to be nothing but two feminists screaming at each other because one of them accidentally found a boyfriend.” pic.twitter.com/7HiljgxEhE

He’s right. If Twitter continues down this path of censoring ideas and content they will end up a giant angry bubble filled with cat hoarders, glitter glue, and angry man buns who will grow bored with no one to blame for their miserable existences.
Is that really what Twitter wants to be?
Don’t answer that.
Obscure lefties with 12 followers get blue checkmarks because they have the "correct" opinions kind of like 5th grade. Their business model is doomed to fail

This editor has seen Obituary Editors for teeny tiny newspapers in Nowheresville, MO who maybe have 100 followers and have a blue check. Meanwhile, large conservative accounts with tens of thousands of followers (ahem) who write for really kickas* and awesome media outlets (ahem ahem) remain unverified.
It’s BS.
Twitter is pushing conservatives off the platform to encourage their followers to leave, too. This is battlefield prep for 2020: trying to deprive President Trump of one of his main ways of communicating to his base.

A year ago we’d have made a tinfoil joke about this one, now though?
“Two feminist fighting over one getting a boyfriend” that’s rich!

And this is why we need Jesse Kelly back. #FreeJesseKelly
