Twitter today added a warning label to a tweet by Rep. Matt Gaetz that called for members of the radical activist group antifa to be hunted down like “terrorists”
Twitter on Monday added a warning label to a tweet by Rep. Matt Gaetz that called for members of the radical activist group antifa to be hunted down like “terrorists” for violating the company’s policies against glorifying violence — the social network’s latest enforcement action against a prominent GOP official.
The Florida Republican, one of President Donald Trump’s fiercest allies on Capitol Hill, ratcheted up his rhetoric against the left-wing group in a missive earlier Monday, writing, “Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?”that he plans to designate the activist group known as antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” as a terrorist organization.
“We have placed a public interest notice on this Tweet from @mattgaetz. The Tweet is in violation of our glorification of violence policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told POLITICO in an email. “As is standard with this notice, engagements with the Tweet will be limited. People will be able to Retweet with Comment, but will not be able to Like, Reply or Retweet it.”
A Gaetz spokesperson didn't immediately respond a request for comment on Twitter's decision to label his tweet. The social network has faced a firestorm of criticism from Trump and his allies, including Gaetz, for taking the same action against a recent Trump tweet that appeared to urge the shooting of looters in Minnesota.
