Would you support banning Obama for creating war with Assad, if he commented about it on Twitter?



I don't deal in hypotheticals. However I think there is a big distinction between tweeting about a war vs. actively trying to instigate one via Tweet.


Obama instigated war with Assad. If he was more active on Twitter he'd have done so via Twitter. It's not a huge stretch to imagine this.


I’ll be more direct - yes. I would absolutely support banning any person, regardless of station, from the platform for violating its rules. Trump would still be the president without Twitter, we’re not talking about impeachment here.


Would you be happy to exclude police, military and government from Twitter as a result of this? We license them to use force on our behalves.

And you're aware that includes all members of government, who are given a mandate for a monopoly on violence? Sorry this wasn't clear from your previous answer.
