    Tom Cotton Says "Low-Level Twitter Employee" Tried To Bully Him Into Deleting Tweet

    " In high dudgeon, they exclaimed that “no quarter” once meant that a military force would take no prisoners, but instead shoot them..."

    Shortly before Senator Tom Cotton publicly backed a Senate GOP bill that would make the liability shield enjoyed by social media companies contingent on a pledge not to suppress political speech, he shared an experience with the staff of Twitter, who tried to intimidate the senator into deleting several of his tweets.

    ICYMI: I joined ⁦@foxandfriends⁩ earlier to discuss ⁦@Twitter⁩’s efforts to censor me. http://video.foxnews.com/v/6164911125001/ …

    On Wednesday, as the debate over Silicon Valley censorship raged, Cotton published an editorial on Fox News' website, and later appeared on TV to share the story again. In it, he shared how "a low-level employee in Twitter’s Washington office" nitpicked the language in one of his tweets - Cotton used the phrase "no quarter", a common English-language idiom - and threatened to permanently suspend his account if he didn't delete the tweet. They gave him 30 minutes to comply.

    That's half as long as Biden gave Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who was investigating the bribery scheme with Hunter.
