One of my two useless senators, bellyaching about something which is not a thing.

Sasse: Jesse Kelly and I disagree but larger trend of ‘de-platforming’ is dangerous (The Hill)

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Monday said that though he and former GOP congressional candidate Jesse Kelly disagree on many things, he considers Kelly’s Twitter ban to be part of a larger, dangerous pattern of “de-platforming.”

Kelly, who hosts a conservative radio show in Houston, had his Twitter account permanently suspended for unspecified reasons over the weekend, creating a wave of backlash among conservatives.

Sasse on Monday tweeted that the move by Twitter and other similar moves by other social media companies is “a bad precedent for our free speech society.”
