Twitter has decided it would be in the public’s best interest to keep a tweet from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on its website after he called U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine a man.
Levine, who was named one of USA Today’s Women of the Year, is transgender and a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
Paxton responded to having his tweet flagged and hidden with another which was also hidden by the tech Giant.
"Yesterday I stated in an irrefutable fact... For stating this matter of factly, Twitter blocked it as "hateful." ... Big Tech is not only anti-conservative and anti-Republican, apparently it is now anti-truth and anti-science."
Twitter also flagged and restricted the ability to share the tweet containing the attorney general's response. The link provided above is from a duplicate post he made on the new social site, Gettr.
AG candidate George P. Bush also condemned the company's policy on Twitter.
