WA Free Beacon: House Reps Demand Twitter Ban Hamas Accounts.
Members of Congress petitioned Twitter on Wednesday to ban accounts linked to several foreign terrorist groups, including the Palestinian Hamas organization, according to a letter sent to the social networking site.
The 16 lawmakers urged Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to remove "all content promoting terrorist activity," including banning "senior Hamas officials and associates from Twitter who radicalize individuals to incite violence against Israelis," according to a statement issued by the members.

While Twitter has taken steps to ban these accounts as they sprout across the platform, the lawmakers maintain that further action is warranted, particularly when it comes to terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS, all of which have used Twitter to promote violence and radicalism.
The lawmakers warn that if Twitter does not take action on its own, they will consider legislative measures to ban these accounts.
Here's the link to the three-page letter, signed by the following 16 members of Congress. These members represent a crisscross of the USA; from Cali to NY, from Colorado to Florida, from Arizona to North Carolina, among other states:
Lee Zeldin, Doug Lamborn, Joe Wilson, Bill Johnson, Scott Desjarlais, Randy Weber, Liz Cheney, Ted Budd, Doug LaMalfa, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, Mark Meadows, Louie Gohmert, Francis Rooney, David Kustoff and John Ratcliffe.
Guess how many of the above are DEMS. Go ahead...Guess! You could click on the links to each of their names and find out. But you already know the answer.
Remember this come the 2020 election when your Congressional DEM public servant is up for election or re-election, and they state how, "tough and concerned they are on the issue of terror." Especially - and you can count on this - they will, in part, reply that "spending more
That might be a good time for asking them why they couldn't manage to pick up a pen and sign their name to the June 11, 2019 letter to Twitter and Jack Dorsey.
House DEMS Steny, McGollum and some-other-guy all find time and a pen, signing a letter asking President Trump not give a 4th of July speech, as many presidents have in the past. They can't throw down their signature on a letter requesting Twitter do more to silence and suspend accounts used by terrorist organizations and recruiters?
