With his primary seven days away. Dem operative makes false accusation against him. He jokes back, tweeting a gif of Stalin and he’s the one who gets suspended.
Via Daily Wire:
Missouri congressional candidate Austin Petersen has received a 12-hour suspension from Twitter for tweeting a GIF of Joseph Stalin.
Petersen received this suspension after a writer for the left-leaning PAC, ShareBlue, alluded to Petersen having connections to the Russian hacking of Senator Claire McCaskill in August of 2017 because Petersen’s campaign accepts bitcoin.
Petersen jokingly responded to the tweet with a GIF from Twitter’s own file collection of Joseph Stalin waving his hand with the words “Off to gulag now.”
“Democrats seized on this as if it were a credible threat, mass reporting my account and having it restricted for 12 hours,” Petersen said in a statement.
