The Twitter wimps merely added a disclaimer
This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about civic and election integrity. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the publics interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.
This is followed by a link to view the tweet.
I'm not linking the tweet which said:
So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud!
Updated to reflect that you have to click an additional link to view 45's Tweet.
