A tweet from Florida Rep. Gaetz was hidden by Twitter with a notice that it violated the company's rules for glorifying violence after he posted about hunting “Antifa.'
Antifa, meaning"anti-fascist," is a coalition of protesters, left-wing activists and self-described anarchists who seek to physically confront and bring down what they deem as the far right.
Gaetz's tweet was quickly flagged by users who said they would report it for promoting the killing of fellow Americans. Once the tweet was shrouded by the notice, however, users could no longer reply or like the post.Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., asked Twitter to take down the tweet entirely, claiming that gun violence survivors were scared that the comments would inspire some people to begin shooting into crowds.
"Spare me your woke virtue signaling. Every real Democrat ran for President and you ran to twitter," Gaetz responded."Governments go after terrorists. Individuals don't. We - the government - should continue to do so. And Antifa is rightly on the list!"Governments go after terrorists. Individuals don’t. We - the government - should continue to do so.
