On Friday, Twitter suspended the account of former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. And Scaramucci has pretty good idea why.

“I think it is related to ‘fat shaming’ President Trump,” Scaramucci told Axios’s Jonathan Swan Friday morning. “I should have said he is the largest proportioned President since William Howard Taft. My bad.” Trump’s former communications director, who stayed on the job for less than one month, has become a critic of the president.

1. It is factual. So, the truth now used to counter Trump's attack on an unknown person at his rally...

is now grounds for suspension on twitter?

[olegramps]

44. Trump can abuse Twitter so-called rules and there is no suspension?

The game is rigged and just wait and see what happens when Trump losses the election.

[maxsolomon]

2. Twitter has rules for everyone but Trump.

It is a curse on this nation.

[dchill]

6. Yep.

[Initech]

11. Yeah Trump has said some awful shit about Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib...

And he gets away with it. Scarmucci calls Trump fat and he gets suspended.

[cstanleytech]

29. Makes me wonder if its because the owners of twitter are MAGA hat owners. nt

[NNadir]

13. Let's be clear. Twitter is designed to abbreviate...

...real thought and reflection and thus fits perfectly in to the anti-intellectualism of this age that has been a feature of fascism since its earliest days.

That absurd historical clown Mussolini would have loved it, as does the modern Mussolini, Donald J. Trump.

Any pretense connected within rules for this verbal spitting up, burping and farting and other gas release is strictly a joke.

[Texin]

15. It may be, but it's a curse brought on by the American people who voted for him and Russian assisted

[maxsolomon]

17. I mean Twitter itself.

but you are also correct.

[cstanleytech]

28. Exactly!!

[defacto7]

34. Why do government officials stoop to using Twitter as all?

It's cheep. It undermines the importance of state positions. Everyone except the insane should abandon tRump to a lone existance on twitter instread of giving him a platform. Serious officials should stop tweeting period. His baby games should be ignored.

[Fritz Walter]

36. And that's why I closed my account months ago

Not planning to re-open it or start a new one!

[JDC]

52. It sure does and it sure is.

[radius777]

57. exactly, the alt-right 'owns' social media

theyve never been held to rules and were allowed to propagate unchecked, partly what fueled the rise of Trump.

yet anyone who counters them is scolded

this is the problem the Resistance faces

most tech people/executives are white men who are enabling and/or sympathetic to alt-right/Trumpism.

[FarPoint]

3. This one does make me laugh....

It is so damn TRUE TOO.....

[lark]

4. Twitter and even more FB are just shills for the reich wing.

drumpf and his ilk can tweet/post any damn ugly thing they want and it's left on their sites. Dems say anything, and down it goes.
I don't use my Twitter account and only keep FB because I have friends all over the USA and in several other countries as well and this is how we keep up with each other.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Taft was said to have a sense of humor about his girth

Something you won't see from Trump.

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I have a feeling those millionaires have no idea

just how ugly they are.

[Meadowoak]

8. While I disagree with his politics, I'm liking the mooch more and more every day.

[TheRealNorth]

9. Mooch is still a deplorable

He's just burned because Trump discarded him once he had no use for the mooch.

ADDED: But I can see the entertsinment value - it's kind of like two kids in the cafeteria going at it with everyone chanting, "Fight".

[Thekaspervote]

56. Enemy of my enemy my friend...for now. Anyone out there whacking away at dotard is a good thing

[maxsolomon]

18. That's why Maher has him on.

He's personable.

[Meadowoak]

21. I miss Bill Maher, I have Dish.net and HBO isn't available through

Dish , due to a dispute. I hope they settle soon.

[maxsolomon]

23. Meh, Maher's a cheap thrill.

I never take away any profound insights. Especially when there's a Conservative on; it always devolves into a shoutfest.

[Delmette2.0]

33. Usually his show is on a podcast the next day.

I have also seen it posted on YouTube the next day.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Talk about a double standard

Trumps tweets in any given day are worse than this.

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. And Twitter shows it has zero clue how to moderate public discussion

Trump insults people daily on Twitter, as well as fat-shaming a supporter at the rally (whom he thought was a protester).

There's a simple principle here, that Twitter is too dumb to follow: if Trump insults people, then people can insult Trump. Since they've never suspended Trump, they shouldn't suspend anyone for insulting him. No matter how many Trumpistas complained.

I reported the official Leave.EU account for calling Brexit Remainers "vermin"; Twitter has done fuck all about it. The tweet is still there, Leave.EU still tweeting bile and hatred.

Twitter are cowardly money-grubbers, trying to make a profit without a thought for fairness or debate.

[47of74]

24. Jack is a fucking coward

He won’t do shit about fuck face’s behavior.

[BadgerMom]

14. Not 100% certain this is the case.

I just got on and could see the tweet, the account, could comment or like or retweet.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. It was temporary, but Twitter have confirmed it happened

Twitter told the New York Post that Scaramucci violated the company’s abusive behavior policy.

“If a tweet was found to be in violation of our rules, and has yet to be deleted by the person who tweeted it, we will hide it behind a notice,” the company told the news outlet. “The account will remain locked until the Tweet is removed.”

Since the tweet's there, that seems to show someone said 'WTF Twitter???' and they thought about it.

[yaesu]

16. tRumps got social media companies running scared, threatening them with the FCC, FTC

if they don't kiss his butt.

[Skidmore]

19. People fat shame Trump

all the time on Twitter with no consequences. This was Trump showing he can control people and media.

[Yonnie3]

22. How is it that Twitter would suspend the account but leave the tweet?

Link to tweet

Perhaps he was reinstated.

[empedocles]

25. According to 'America Comes Alive' site, Taft's constantly battled his weight, and

weighed as little as 255lbs.

Better than trump on both counts.

Which seems to make trump eligible to be the fattest President EVER!!!

[AllaN01Bear]

26. so. when are they going to ban trump? htey are violating their own rules .

[LiberalLovinLug]

27. But...'Horseface,' 'Lowlife,' Ugly', 'Slob', 'Dog', and oh yeah 'Fat Pig'

is perfectly fine for others?

coughTrumpcough

Can't indict him because he's the President
Can't impeach him because he's the President
Can't enforce your own private company decorum rules because he's the President

[Gothmog]

30. Bonus Quote of the Day

This makes me smile https://politicalwire.com/2019/08/16/bonus-quote-of-the-day-1178/

“I’m not calling him Small Hands or saying he’s got a small penis. I’m not doing any of that.”

— Anthony Scaramucci, in a Vanity Fair interview.

[George II]

31. Suspended for telling the truth? C'mon twitter!

[OnDoutside]

32. Hell hath no fury like a Moochie scorned

[barbtries]

35. Scaramucci's tweet is still there.

now i am going back to delete a couple tweets...

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Don't any of you dare say

Fat Hitler

Verboten!!!!

[calimary]

38. So why hasn't Twitter suspended trump's account?

He’s the perpetrator of online terrorism EVERT DOGGONE DAY!!!!!

[Ms. Toad]

48. They have publicly said they won't suspend his account.

https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2018/world-leaders-and-twitter.html

But a couple of months ago it did agree to label inappropriate posts.

[lpbk2713]

39. But Trump can say the Clintons killed someone?

Twitter is a fucking Trump tool.

[Perseus]

40. Funny how the 1st ammendment works some time, and others it just doesn't

How many times has the creature said horrible things about other people? What is the difference between calling the creature fat, and the creature calling so many people names, such as "low intelligence", and other childlike insults that the creature uses frequently.

[Ms. Toad]

49. Absolutely nothing to do with the first amendment.

The first amendment governs governmental suppression of speech. Last I checked, twitter was not a state entity.

[onetexan]

42. Twitter needs to suspend the Idiot's account for bullying, denegrating

People almost daily, making thinly veiled threats, spewing hate, retweeting white supremacy messages, pathological lying, self-aggrandizing, unbecoming behavior as POTUS, inciting violence against people of color and his detractors & enemies... im sure theres more bit just 1 of these reasons is enough.

[Perseus]

43. The worst part is that little "wins" like this only serves as an ego boost to the creature

I am sure he feels like a winner with stupidity like this, in his screwed up head he elevates it to "biggie" proportions.

[Amimnoch]

45. Fat bastard trump

Love the Austin Powers Ref.

[Maraya1969]

46. This is m not right. He didn't threaten 45. He just

Exercised his freedom of speech

[Ms. Toad]

50. Twitter is a private forum.

The concept of free speech does not apply to suppression by private entities.

[radius777]

59. Social media companies excuse alt-right on the basis of 'free speech',

therefore it must go both ways, otherwise they reveal themselves to be RW tools, and should suffer public backlash as a result.

[Ms. Toad]

60. "Free speech" is a constitutional matter.

and is ONLY applicable to government action. It has no application to the actions of a private company - no matter what anyone says.

They are free to restrict speech, for example, to those arguing that the world is flat and the moon is made of blue cheese, and to prohibit differing viewpoints.

Likewise the public is free to patronize them, or not.

[Blue Owl]

47. The fattish yet active man of paralyzing stupidity

n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. I was gonna say I give up but that is what they want

[jcgoldie]

53. Mooch is douche but fuck twitter

They enable the racism and bullying of Trump and then they disable someone that gives a little back? I don't have twitter but liberals should just dump that shit, fuck them.

[Eugene]

54. Silly Mooch, only Donald Trump gets two scoops.

[nini]

55. Twitter is the Fox News of social media

It is vile and toxic.

It didn't take me long to ditch that place after seeing how they're in Trump's pocket.

[radius777]

58. that's 'libertarianism' for you

many whites on the left and right love to think of themselves as social libertarians, ie 'we need to be neutral and not pick winners like those identity politics liberals do!'

Remember that most of these 'libertarian' tech leaders excuse the ugly alt-right/trumper stuff on their platforms on the basis of 'free speech' - yet spring into action to regulate speech when anyone says something to diss/mock the snowflake-in-chief and his emo-nazi supporters.
