Democrats must be worried about loosing big in 2020 from what I’m witnessing in social media. The biggest news this week is from Twitter after they locked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign account for posting a video of violent threats made against HIM recorded by HIS home security camera, that’s Against Twitter Policy. And a plug for Laura Loomer running for Congress (R-FL) challenging Rep. Lois Frankel in district 21.
Doubt the right will be treated better. Democrats have social media in their pockets!
From Politico: President Trump’s campaign and the major, national Republican campaign committees announced Thursday they will stop advertising on Twitter after Twitter locked Mitch McConnell’s campaign account for posting video of violent threats against him.
“Twitter’s hostile actions toward Leader McConnell’s campaign are outrageous, and we will not tolerate it,” said Jesse Hunt, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “The NRSC will suspend all spending with Twitter until further notice. We will not spend our resources on a platform that silences conservatives.”
In other news that’s mostly hidden by big tech: Far-right activist Laura Loomer announced Friday that she was launching a congressional bid, filing to run in a heavily Democratic district north of Miami.
Laura Loomer (yes, Laura Loomer) announces her bid for Congress in Florida, challenging incumbent Democrat @RepLoisFrankel who ran unopposed in 2018. https://t.co/Eics3HDCWR

Loomer, who has come under fire for anti-Muslim comments, has filed to run as a Republican in Florida’s 21st District, which is currently represented by Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.). Frankel, an outspoken critic of President Trump, ran unopposed in 2018.
My opponent cares far more about radical leftist special interests, her anti-Semitic colleagues, and protecting criminal illegal aliens from deportation than about her district and constituents here in Florida who she’s supposed to be working for, not against, Loomer said in a statement.
Big-Tech censorship of conservatives is an issue of growing importance to Americans,” Loomer wrote in the statement. Tech titan censorship, makes it clear that Republicans are under attack.
