A Senate campaign ad by Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn was blocked on Twitter Monday because of a statement she made in the spot about the sale of fetal tissue for medical research.
Blackburn, a Tennessee representative running to fill the retiring Sen. Bob Corker’s seat, said in the ad that she “stopped the sale of baby parts.”
Twitter told Blackburn's campaign in an email obtained by Fox News that the line was “deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.”
The line, in full, states: “I’m 100% pro-life. I fought Planned Parenthood, and we stopped the sale of baby body parts — thank god.”
The social media platform said it would run Blackburn’s ad if the statement in question were omitted.

So... a Christian baker turns down a gay couple when they want him to bake a wedding cake and they get sued- and appealed all the way to SCOTUS.
But, a conservative congresswoman speaks the truth, and Twitter finds it objectionable and shuts her down.
Isn't that special.
Again, double standards for the liberal left.
Plain and simple.....it's called censorship .....and we all know how much the liberal left hates censorship. As long as you agree with them.
