On Monday evening vandals tried to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson and attempted to set up another autonomous zone in Washington DC. DC Park Police and Metro Police did a fantastic job protecting the statue and tearing down the zone.
On Tuesday morning President Trump warned those creating chaos, “There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington DC as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!”

Well, that triggered the social justice warriors at Twitter HQ who apparently would prefer our cities to be burned and looted. The left-wing company decided to censor the President claiming the tweet violates “our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group.”
We’ve placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group.https://t.co/AcmW6O6d4t

Twitter better realize that eventually, they will fall victim to the mob as well. Watch as MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton get swarmed by a protestor. If you turn the volume up you’ll hear Rep. Holmes Norton say, “where are the police when you need them.”
