Live Midterm Election Coverage: The Fight for Congress

Twitter has blocked Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)'s Senate campaign announcement video because of the ad's "inflammatory rhetoric."


According to the Associated Press, the social network decided to block Blackburn's video where she claimed to have "stopped the sale of baby body parts" due to her "inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction."

Later in the announcement video, Blackburn also professes to "carry a gun in [her purse]" and expresses a desire to "fight with [President Donald Trump] every step of the way" to build his border wall with Mexico.
