UNREAL: Taliban Spokesman Has Active Twitter Account; Trump Remains Banned

This tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the companies that now make up what I call the “Silicon Valley Axis of Evil.”  On Sunday, Newsbusters informed us that the official spokesman for the Taliban has an active Twitter account, even as former President Trump remains banned:

Twitter account @Zabehulah_M33, describes itself as the “[o]fficial Twitter Account of the Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid.”

Some on Twitter noticed the hypocrisy.

“Taliban’s official spokesman has an active Twitter account. Meanwhile, the former President of the United States remains banned,” commentator Ian Miles Cheong tweeted.

Trump was banned early in the year after the January 6th riot.

“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said at the time.

GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw had a very good question:

Standards? Twitter has standards?  Who knew?

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

As I said, this tells you everything you need to know about companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google.
