That is such an obscure reference out of all the examples reality has provided in the past few years. Why did you pick this one specifically

Because she got banned from Twitter and it makes Elon Musk look bad.

Those were separate incidents I don’t believe are connected

Ah I see... so you weren't really interested in why he picked this example.

I don’t see how me pointing out how the unrelated poster was describing two separate incidents would imply that. He butted in on a question only the OP could answer and it was only related via the same person being involved

Did Twitter suspend Griffin for that photo of her with Trumps decapitated head?
