Twitter Purging Right-wing Bots, MAGA Melts Down

"Following President Donald Trump’s permanent suspension from Twitter on Friday night, the social media platform conducted what they called a routine audit of users to ensure real people were behind the “unverified” accounts on their site. In doing so, follower numbers fluctuated, leading to cries of censorship from conservatives."*

In other words, Twitter is doing what it should have done ago.

I remember Trump saying "my building is now the tallest" immediately after the 9/11 twin terror strikes. He's that sick.

[jj]

Nothing has done more to make us dumber, meaner and egocentric than interest in ratings, followers and likes on social media.

[rivertam]

They're sad because they paid for those bots and can't get a refund.

[toddcott]

Trump uses twitter because he has the verbal skills of a five year old.

[IMHTP]

They're just mad that their numbers of fake followers got exposed.

[smallstudiodesign]

They only care about Twitter followers? And not the millions of people who are really suffering? They aren’t even trying to help the people.

[stevenmara]

I mean Trump lost over 80M followers and he’s not tweeting about it

[justmikey]

Nothing like watching a bunch of grown adults(including lawmakers)using huge media platforms to say they've been censored.

[LunaC...]

They paid good money for those fake followers

[Thepuffingyank]

just charge the republican party with inserection and all their supporters and party officials

"private businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone they want as long as it isnt me or people i like"

[missg]

Anytime I have commented over the last few days there has been a trump supporter responding with some ridiculous link that feeds their narrative while trying to somehow justify Trump's Behavior. Sad!

MAGA: Let's use social media to overthrow the country
Social Media: No
MAGA: my First Amendment

[christinapomponio]

I don't have a twitter account, never have, never will.

[justsaying]

Why are they outing themselves about how many fascists follow them lol?

[ntandosekay]

I have trouble believing that Sarah Sanders hàs more than 5 people who are interested in what she thinks.

[Flamboyant_Fashion]

Wow Matt Gaetz' Twitter followers are dropping faster than his constituents.
I think he's worried about the wrong numbers.
