Yesterday, conservative personality Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter HQ to protest being banned and to protest bias against conservatives.
Now, I'm sure you know this because the story was the number two worldwide trend, and it was the number one trend in the United States.
We're now hearing from Reuters that yesterday, Twitter's stock fell amid fears that they are losing conservatives.
The stock recovered a little bit up until Loomer started protesting.
During Loomer's protest, another conservative had their account deleted for seemingly no reason.
They apologized and gave him his account back after a backlash.
I think at this point it is irrefutable.
Twitter absolutely is biased against conservatives.
The evidence just keeps stacking up.
And this means, based on Twitter's own rules and the circumstantial evidence of their behavior, Jack Dorsey lied to Congress when he said he doesn't ban people for ideological reasons.
And I can show you evidence to back this up, because I wouldn't say that lightly.
So today, let's take a look at why Loomer was banned, what happened with the protest, what's going out Twitter stock, and the proof that shows Twitter is actually going after conservatives.

First, a quick recap.
From NBC News, far-right activist Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter's NYC building.
Police removed her.
Twitter banned Loomer a week ago after she tweeted that Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar was anti-Jewish and pro-sharia law.
The story says, Twitter released a statement, During her protest saying, This is an absolute lie.
the relevant authorities who are responding, the account holder was suspended for violating
our policies, we apply the Twitter rules impartially and not based on ideology.
This is an absolute lie.
100%.
I can give you evidence that Twitter is once again lying and Jack Dorsey lied under oath
to Congress.
At about 6 p.m.
Eastern, police, at Loomer's request, used a bolt cutter to cut through her handcuffs.
She was not arrested.
On the same day, just hours before the protest, we saw this story from Reuters.
Twitter tumbles on fear of conservative backlash.
Shares of Twitter Inc.
tumbled 6% on Thursday after reports that Fox News had not tweeted for three weeks Sparked fears of a backlash by conservatives protesting a perceived liberal bias at the company.
Fox News has not tweeted to its 18.3 million followers since November 8th, an apparent boycott of the social network Politico reported on Wednesday.
It stopped tweeting after activists used Twitter to post the home address of prominent news host Tucker Carlson, media news site Mediaite reported on November 9th.
Demonstrators targeted Carlson's home in Washington with a protest and shouted threats, he told the Washington Post.
What happened specifically was that Twitter refused to remove the docks on Tucker Carlson.
That's his private information.
Fox News requested it be taken down.
Twitter said they wouldn't do it.
So Fox News is boycotting Twitter.
But let's take a look at their stock.
Because it actually went down a little bit more than just 6%.
We can see on the 28th at around 4pm, its stock started to fall.
And by 9.30am the next day at the start of trading, it fell a great deal.
Falling from 32.46 down to 30.16.
It started to climb back up, up until around 4pm when Laura Loomer started protesting and fell back down again.
As of the filming of this video, it is up a little bit, but still way down over the past two days.
During Laura Loomer's protest, we saw this story.
CJ Pearson's Twitter account has been locked again, and they updated it when he was brought back.
CJ Pearson posted this image, an email from Twitter telling him his account was locked.
Twitter tweeted out that it was an accident, saying our systems automatically locked CJ Pearson's account in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
As soon as we were alerted to the error, we reactivated it.
It will take a couple of hours for the follower count to return to normal.
Pearson posted after being unbanned, I'm back.
I look forward to hearing from Twitter as to why my account was suspended following my defense of Laura Loomer.
The left fears those they can't control, the left will never control me.
Yet even with statements from Twitter confirming they did delete his account, even with people posting images of the email CJ Pearson received, you still have left-wing conspiracy theorists saying things like this.
No dude, you dramatically deleted your account and then restored it.
This is factually untrue.
Twitter publicly stated they did this.
And other verified left-wing users keep persisting with this strange conspiracy theory.
That Jesse Kelly, a conservative who was also suspended from Twitter, and CJ Pearson did it on purpose.
The left insists it's all a conspiracy.
No matter how much evidence comes out showing that Twitter is biased against conservatives, and these people are being banned for no reason, they persist in lying, making up claims they're doing it to themselves, when in fact, According to the National Review, we actually have a statement about Jesse Kelly from Twitter.
Not to mention, Jesse Kelly published the email he received from Twitter notifying that his account was taken down.
Following news of Jesse Kelly, Instapundit, a Libertarian user, suspended their own account, deleting it saying that they didn't want to be active on Twitter anymore due to the bias.
But in the beginning, I said Jack Dorsey lied under oath.
He did.
100%.
And again, I don't say that lightly.
From CNBC, Jack Dorsey to Congress, Twitter does not use political ideology to make any decisions.
That is an outright lie.
It's on their website.
It's in their rules.
They 100% enforce bans based on ideology, not on facts.
On Twitter's own website, they have a hateful conduct policy.
Now this, in itself, doesn't refute what Dorsey says.
They claim, you may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of
race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender
identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.
We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.
Now, this paragraph alone is fairly straightforward, and I think the rule makes sense.
Threatening people, promoting violence against them.
However, they take it one step further.
They say repeated and or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone.
We prohibit targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes, or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade, or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category.
This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.
This sentence right here shows they are absolutely ideologically driven, at least as far as this goes.
Plain and simple.
Telling someone that you are not allowed to state someone's biological sex in the language you use is an ideologically driven rule, and not something based on keeping people safe.
You can say, don't insult people, but when you tell people you're not allowed to use their biological pronoun, you are telling them you are enforcing their behavior based on the ideology you have.
And not based on keeping people safe.
Regardless of your thoughts on trans rights, according to Wikipedia, a woman is a female human being.
And a female is the sex of an organism that produces eggs.
Now, there is a debate as to what makes someone truly female or a woman, but the point is, a woman is a female human being, and pronouns in our language exist to service male and female.
Thus, if Twitter is going to say, you can't call someone by the pronoun they actually are, That is an ideologically driven rule.
It has nothing to do with insulting or dehumanizing people.
Someone was already banned for saying men aren't women.
That's Megan Murphy, the feminist.
Therefore, it's fair to say Jack Dorsey presented statements which were absolutely untrue to Congress.
The fact remains If Twitter has a hate speech policy, hate speech is not defined by law.
It is defined by their personal ideology.
And Twitter enforces rules against hate speech.
Therefore, Twitter enforces ideological rules.
It doesn't matter if you're a nice person.
It doesn't matter if you're not trying to insult somebody.
Laura Loomer was banned because she criticized a politician for having certain views.
Or at least she perceived this person as having those certain views.
She said, Elon Omar was pro-sharia law.
And under sharia law, homosexuals and women are oppressed.
That is not hate speech.
That is her stating her opinion on these belief structures.
But Twitter banned her.
Twitter banned her because they don't like her opinion.
She didn't insult somebody.
She didn't dehumanize.
In fact, Laura Loomer was speaking out against this abuse.
She was speaking out against oppression.
But because her ideology doesn't fit Twitter's, she was banned from the platform.
Now it's possible that Twitter's stock woes have nothing to do with any of this, but Reuters seems to think it does.
And we can also see that stock went down for Twitter after Laura Loomer started protesting.
We have seen some conservatives leave the platform outright because Twitter is very clearly biased against conservatives.
Right now, I assure you, conservatives are self-censoring on the platform.
There are a lot of people who are scared to say certain things because Twitter will ideologically ban them, as I just showed you, in their own rules.
They will ban you if you do not agree with their ideology.
Yet that's not going to stop far-left conspiracy theorists who think it doesn't exist, that there are simply conservatives who are banning themselves, who are deleting their own accounts so they can be celebrities, so they can claim that they're the target of oppression, when in reality, Twitter actually issued statements apologizing for targeting these individuals.
I think what's going on is pretty damn obvious.
Silicon Valley is far, far left.
Many of the people who work for Twitter are admittedly far left.
They don't care about the company as a whole.
Is Jack Dorsey far left?
Yes, he is.
But I think Jack Dorsey is trying to make sure he isn't targeting specific people based on their politics.
It doesn't matter.
The employees who check for hate speech, who uphold the rules, are and probably don't care.
They're probably thinking, you know what?
I don't care about this person.
I'll just ban them anyway.
What's gonna happen?
Right?
We saw not that long ago, I think it was a year or so ago, a Twitter employee deleted Donald Trump's Twitter account.
So we know for a fact they target people based on their ideology, based on things they don't like about these people.
We know that Twitter enforces rules based on an ideology held by very few people that isn't recognized by the mainstream on Wikipedia.
So, at what point do you say, the left, you are pushing conspiracy theories, Jack has admitted they're biased, we have seen conservatives banned time and time again, Louis Farrakhan, Let me know what you think in the comments below.
This is probably the 800th video I've done on this subject, but it keeps getting worse.
At some point, you'd imagine conservatives will learn their lesson and just start leaving the platform.
And it sounds like that's what is causing Twitter's stock to fall, at least according to Reuters.
But again, comment below.
We'll keep the conversation going.
