      Look, it’s the public square! It’s very important that it have free and unfettered discussion by the people who will tell me I’m great for hurting some other people! Liberals and leftists whine about how nobody should be being hurt, but where’s the rush of exercising power to not hurt people?

    Twitter blocked a Democrat’s campaign video from being promoted on its platform because it expressed support for abortion rights, according to email conversations obtained by HuffPost.

    The video, created by North Carolina state Sen. Rachel Hunt (D) for her campaign for lieutenant governor, centers on abortion rights in North Carolina and the fall of Roe v. Wade. Hunt says in the video that she’s running for lieutenant governor to combat anti-choice Republicans who recently passed a 12-week abortion ban in the state.
