Conservative Actor Responds to Twitter Ban

Conservative actor James Woods has released a statement after his account was suspended by Twitter.

According to The Daily Wire:

Conservative actor James Woods said on Thursday that he will no longer be using Twitter after the platform suspended him and then deleted a tweet that he refused to take down after the platform received widespread scorn from lawmakers for its continued censorship of conservatives.

“Twitter demanded that I rescind my tweet paraphrasing Emerson,” Woods said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “It now seems they have chosen to delete that tweet from my account without my permission. Until free speech is allowed on Twitter, I will not be permitted to participate in our democracy with my voice. As long as Jack Dorsey remains the coward he seems to be, my Twitter days are in the past.”

Woods was suspended in late April over a tweet that stated: “If you try to kill the King, you better not miss. #HangThemAll.”

Of course Twitter doesn’t inform his followers. @RealJamesWoods has received the following email: pic.twitter.com/2nnnVBVktQ

The Daily Wire has reached out to Twitter for clarification on what specific rules Woods’ tweet allegedly broke and will report on what answers the social media platform gives.

President Trump has even come to the conservative actor’s defense, joining many others who are outraged by Twitter’s move.
