Twitter has reinstated Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's reelection campaign account, after suspending it on Thursday for posting a video showing threats against the longtime Kentucky Republican. Twitter also restored the tweet including the video that showed the protests

"Several Twitter users, including U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's campaign account, were temporarily locked out of their accounts for Tweeting a video that violated our abusive behavior policy. The video contained a violent threat directed at Leader McConnell, a clear violation of the Twitter Rules," Twitter said in a statement.

"After multiple appeals from affected users and Leader McConnell's team confirming their intent to highlight the threats for public discussion, we have reviewed this case more closely," the statement said, adding that Twitter would restore the video and show it with a warning message. "Going forward, the video will be visible on the service with a sensitive media interstitial and only in cases where the Tweet content does not otherwise violate the Twitter Rules."

McConnell's campaign spokesperson, Kevin Golden, called out the social platform for its decision in a statement to CBS News on Friday. The Republican Party, the Trump campaign and other GOP organizations are halting their Twitter spending in response.

3. Once again, Twitter openly declares they will not enforce their own rules if upon the powerful

but all you powerless peons would have been stomped on if you had done the same thing. But you were not going to buy millions of dollars in ads and promoted tweets, so you're out of luck.
