Eddie Griffin, who thinks he’s a comedian, openly called for Dallas, Texas to “do their job” and kill Donald Trump during a performance at the American Airlines Center on Friday. Within 24 hours, Facebook and Twitter had scrubbed the livestream video everywhere it was posted.
“Ya’ll took out one president, you need to take out another…Ya’ll need to put Trump into a convertible and take him out, or better yet, the driver should take him out.” Eddie Griffin
He even told his followers to get some folks onto the grassy knoll and be sure to take him out. This jerk needs to be arrested. He’s most certainly not funny, and has severely crossed the line. On Twitter he has 160K followers, and his Facebook page has over 2 Million.
The assassination of John F Kennedy was a major traumatic experience for Americans. To even reference that is abhorrent. To tell his 15,000 followers to do the same is past abhorrent and into criminal. He needs to be taken to jail. Period.
Ben Ferguson, a Conservative radio host, attended the performance and was live streaming it to Facebook. When he tried to access his account the next day, he was notified that the video violated their “community standards.” Which it did in a major way. But scrubbing it before the Secret Service got their hands on it was not the best idea.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The Federalist reported,
“Ferguson believes Facebook’s decision to remove the video, which had at least 100,000 views, is censorship.
“It’s protecting the Left when they’re doing something extreme,” he said.
He says he’s not the only one whose videos the social network selectively deleted. Others reportedly complained on Twitter that Facebook had purged their videos of Griffin’s disturbing monologue.”
