As the media flips out over @ElonMusk restoring Alex Jones account (@RealAlexJones), it's important to point out to everyone the REAL reason Alex was banned from Twitter in the first place back in 2018. And contrary to popular belief it was NOT because he entertained some conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook, as crazy as they were. Twitter specifically cited the Oliver Darcy confrontation, who is a public figure (working for CNN), which took place on public property, while Darcy was working in the capacity of a reporter at the time, outside a congressional hearing about censorship on social media. They claimed it was "harassment" because he told him off for working to get him banned off all the other platforms. The irony is too thick to even describe. Twitter held out after he was unpersoned by YouTube and Facebook, but then after he humiliated the CNN clown, that was cited as the reason for the ban by Twitter's Trust and Safety account. People should watch Tucker Carlson's interview with Alex Jones to see the real Alex, not just his flaws and mistakes that the media spent years amplifying and trying to make his identity. He is a genius, but like most geniuses, it's counterbalanced by equal sized flaws. But he was banned for bogus reasons in order to silence him, not because of a whacky conspiracy theory from years earlier he entertained, but because when he's firing on all cylinders and on point, he's a wrecking ball to the corrupt political establishment and was revealing too much about how the power structures work. Period.

Friendly reminder that Alex Jones was banned from Twitter for insulting a CNN clown to his face outside a Congressional hearing in 2018 about social media censorship while broadcasting the interaction live on Periscope, and it had nothing to do with his comments about the school shooting, as widely believed. But @elonmusk the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist " won't allow @RealAlexJones back on this platform. If Elon was the president of AT&T or T-Mobile, I guess he would shut off Alex Jones' cell service because he doesn't personally like him. Maybe Elon will watch Tucker Carlson interview him today when it drops on X and learn the truth about why the previous Twitter regime banned him. Associated Press confirms here, the ban was for telling off Oliver Darcey. apnews.com/article/2521ccbe3…
