Twitter Suspends Conservative Michael Knowles Over Election Day Joke

Michael Knowles– the author of the blank book “Reasons To Vote For Democrats”– has been suspended from Twitter. Why? Over making an election day joke. What was the joke, you ask? He reminded Democrats to vote on November 7th. (That’s the wrong day, FYI.)

OFFICIALLY BLOCKED FROM TWITTER! My Twitter account has been suspended three days before the midterm elections, allegedly for explicitly joking that Twitter suspends conservatives over election jokes. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan tweets about how Jews are “termites” without any repercussions. Please tweet your displeasure to @twitter! #FreeKnowles

While I would love nothing better than for @michaeljknowles to be forever banished from polite society, you can’t suspend someone for an obvious election joke, @jack. #freeknowles

I mean it’s not even a good joke.

It’s bad enough that they’ll punish Knowles over a lame joke instead of focusing on pieces of crap who call Jews termites, but it gets worse. LOADS of people have made that crappy joke before, on both the right and left.

Lots of left-wing accounts make the same election joke I did (without the punchline) and remain fully operational. Yet when a conservative jokes about this very phenomenon, Twitter blocks—three days before the midterm elections! Tell @Twitter to stop the censorship of conservatives! #FreeKnowles

No one is allowed to make a joke on this platform any longer, apparently. #FreeKnowles https://t.co/XCHBSeEbJI

Well, you can if you’re a lib. Actually, if you call yourself a liberal comedian, and you can get away with just about anything.
