Twitter, once again, has censored another tweet by President Trump after he threatened action against rioters in Minneapolis.

Trump accuses the company of double standards and his team has moved to get around Twitter’s restrictions.

“Twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies & propaganda being put out by China or the Radical Left Democrat Party. They have targeted Republicans, Conservatives & the President of the United States. Section 230 should be revoked by Congress. Until then, it will be regulated!” Trump tweeted.

White House’s official Twitter account responded by reposting the censored tweet in full, but it was censored again by Twitter.

White House official Dan Scavino tweeted, “Twitter is targeting the President of the United States 24/7, while turning their heads to protest organizers who are planning, plotting, and communicating their next moves daily on this very platform.”

“Twitter is full of s**t — more and more people are beginning to get it,” he added.

Trump pointed out the alleged double standard by Twitter. For example, Trump argues, the Democrats and the World Health Organization were not censored.

“What about all of the lies and fraudulent statements made by Adam Schiff, and so many others, on the Russian Witch Hunt Plus, Plus, Plus? What about China’s propaganda? WHO’s mistakes? No flags?” Trump responded.

Trump and Twitter had sparred a day earlier when the company slapped a warning label on a Trump tweet about voter fraud. Trump later signed an executive order calling for regulations that would limit liability protections for social media companies.

The fight escalated overnight when Trump tweeted about the riots in Minneapolis in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody — which protesters are alleging is the latest instance of police brutality against black men. The riots had sparked after video footage was released showing a police officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck.

As the riots tore through the city for a second night, Trump warned that if local politicians didn’t get the city under control, the federal government would intervene.

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”

Twitter swiftly responded by adding a disclaimer that hides the message until users click “view.”

“This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible,” the disclaimer read.

Critics on Twitter said Trump’s comments had racial undertones and said the term “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” can be traced back to Miami Police Chief Walter Headley in 1967 as a threat to black protestors during the civil rights movement.

When asked for comment, Twitter pointed to a thread explaining the decision.

“This Tweet violates our policies regarding the glorification of violence based on the historical context of the last line, its connection to violence, and the risk it could inspire similar actions today,” Twitter Comms wrote.

“We’ve taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance.”
