Liberals are all for freedom of speech–unless it’s conservative speech.
Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke was locked out of his Twitter account this week for tweets accused of being violent.
The popular Trump supporter and Fox News regular lashed out at the media for alleging he was under FBI investigation.
The controversy began last week when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on a March 2017 search warrant for Clarke’s emails.
The warrant request was in relation to an incident from January of last year in which Dan Black, an airline passenger, accused the Sheriff of abusively detaining him.
Clarke said he detained the man due to concern for his safety. By May, a federal prosecutor told Black’s attorney he saw no basis for a criminal civil rights violation charge.
The former lawman blasted misreporting that failed to note the warrant request was made back in March and had only been reported on until December.
In one tweet, Clarke called the liberal media “scum bags” and said he will “punch back.”
LYING LIB MEDIA can’t beat me with a coherent counter argument so they resort to what liberals do when they have no logical narrative. They try to silence me by creating FAKE NEWS from LIES to smear me like they did yesterday. I don’t back down, I punch back. Bring it scum bags pic.twitter.com/rpyHCb0659

In another, Clarke promised “lefties” he would “smack around until you crawl back to your mom’s basement.”
Nothing like getting under the skin of lefties like I did today. I fight to win. You come at me libs you better bring a hard hat, some aspirin and your veggie wrap because it’s going to be a long day and I’m going to smack you around until you crawl back to your mom’s basement. pic.twitter.com/CgmrRiBp8Y

Other aggressive tweets by the former Sheriff, who now works at the pro-Trump America First Action SuperPAC:
I keep warning the LYING LIB MEDIA and their liberal goons NOT TO POKE THE DOG because I BITE BACK. They continue to think I will take their DRIVE-BY HIT SMEARS lying down. I WASN’T BUILT TO BACK DOWN. They are not used to THIS conservative’s style of SMASH-MOUTH POLITICS #MAGA. pic.twitter.com/n7FeMsqiwa

Users submitted complaints against Clarke’s tweets. Initially, Twitter determined the conservative did not violate the site’s rules.
I know I’m winning. Some snowflake lib made a complaint to Twitter because of my earlier tweet about black kids being exploited by lefty failed policies at Ballou High School. I said in my tweet, this CRAP is criminal. Twitter said no violation of rules. Diaper change time. pic.twitter.com/ayf7hGGfgQ

“I know I’m winning,” Clarke wrote Saturday night. “Some snowflake lib made a complaint to Twitter because of my earlier tweet about black kids being exploited by lefty failed policies at Ballou High School. I said in my tweet, this CRAP is criminal. Twitter said no violation of rules. Diaper change time.”
By Monday, Twitter reversed its decision and Clarke’s account was locked in a “read-only” mode until certain tweets were deleted, CNN reports.
By Tuesday, Clarke had removed the requested tweets and his account was once again active.
As always, the left is all-too happy to use censorship to suppress opposing views.
