Twitter shuts down Blackburn campaign announcement video

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s Senate campaign announcement ad has been blocked by Twitter over a statement the abortion rights opponent makes about the sale of fetal tissue for medical research.

Blackburn, who is running for the seat being opened by the retirement of Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, boasts in the ad that she “stopped the sale of baby body parts.” A Twitter representative told the candidate’s vendors on Monday that the statement was “deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction:

Twitter said the Blackburn campaign would be allowed to run the rest of the video if the flagged statement is omitted. While the decision keeps Blackburn from paying to promote the video on Twitter, it doesn’t keep it from being linked from YouTube and other platforms.

Blackburn took to Twitter to urge supporters to re-post her video and join her in “standing up to Silicon Valley.”

Blackburn was the chair of a Republican-run House panel created to investigate Planned Parenthood and the world of fetal tissue research that earlier this year urged Congress to halt federal payments to the women’s health organization. Democrats said the GOP probe had unearthed no wrongdoing and wasted taxpayers’ money in an abusive investigation.

The panel was created after anti-abortion activists released secretly recorded videos in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they sometimes provide fetal tissue to researchers, which is legal if no profit is made.

Fetal tissue research has strong backing among scientists for its value in studying Down syndrome, eye disease and other problems. But Blackburn’s committee report said fetal tissue “makes a vanishingly small contribution to clinical and research efforts, if it contributes at all,” and recommended curbing federal grants for such research.

Blackburn’s nearly two-and-a-half minute video features footage of her shooting a gun, espousing her “100 percent pro-life” credentials and taking fellow Republicans in the Senate to task for failing to repeal the Obama health care law.

“I know the left calls me a wingnut or a knuckle-dragging conservative,” she said in the video. “And you know what? I say that’s all right. Bring it on.”

She was part of this panel I'm guessing she is talking about this in her twitter video.

They changed nothing they wasted millions of tax payer dollars on a witch hunt to find out what we knew about PP already.

Still nothing about the legality of selling baby parts. I presume you are going to abort that allegation now?

[oaklandhater]

As of January 2017
Susan Collins of Maine
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

2017-2018 Term.
Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania

How much money did Obama give to the Middle East? You want to talk about waste... Our "We are sorry tour". How much did they spend on Hawaii vacations and Africa trips that Obama himself didn't even go on? He added 20 trillion to OUR debt and you didn't seem to care about money then.

Nice play on words there Well done.


But no

Congressional Republicans investigating widely discredited claims that Planned Parenthood profited from fetal tissue.

They didn't do it illegally they did legal so they changed nothing what was the point of her and the GOP wasting on money on this what did they change ?

Trump is wasting way more money on trips and vacations don't kid yourself on that front.



Are you talking about the money that We owed to iran that we paid back what's the big deal ?

unless you are talking about wars

• $686 billion for Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)

• $815 billion for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn

• $27 billion for Operation Noble Eagle, enhancing security at military bases

• $81 billion for programs and activities not directly related to war operations

You can blame bush for these.

One of the results is that PP no longer gets reimbursed for baby parts.

Did Bush have the dotcom boom and deregulat Wall Street?

Did Bush pass a bill that forced banks to give unqualified borrowers loans for homes they couldn't afford?

Did Clinton have airplanes flown into the World Trade Center?
