Marsha Blackburn and Twitter

Twitter has a problem with a video by U.S. Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn, deeming it inflammatory.

Here's the video:



From the Washington Post:

On Monday, an ad meant to announce the eight-time Tennessee congresswoman’s 2018 bid for Sen. Bob Corker’s vacancy was censured by the social media platform, according to her campaign’s Twitter feed. Although the video is still on Twitter, the company is not allowing the campaign to pay to promote on the platform due to a controversial antiabortion statement included in the clip.

...Clocking in at just under two and a half minutes, the video features Blackburn introducing herself as a “hardcore, card-carrying Tennessee conservative.”

“I’m politically incorrect and proud of it,” Blackburn says, before diving into a short critique of the current makeup of the senate. “The fact that our Republican majority in the U.S. Senate can’t overturn Obamacare, or will not overturn Obamacare — it’s a disgrace,” Blackburn tells the camera. “Too many Senate Republicans act like Democrats or worse.”

The candidate then outlines her past accomplishments in Tennessee and Washington. “I am 100 percent pro-life,” Blackburn states. “I fought Planned Parenthood and we stopped the sale of baby body parts, thank God.”

This was where Twitter’s representatives reportedly called foul.

I love that Twitter's stance is actually serving to help Blackburn.

Twitter's contribution to her campaign is enormous.
