X Temporarily Suspended 'White Dudes for Harris' Account
The Facts
The roughly 100k-follower X account "White Dudes for Harris," which represents White men who support US Vice President Kamala Harris, was suspended Monday night. The suspension followed a Zoom video fundraiser hosted by the group that raised $4M for the Harris campaign.
According to the account, the handle of which is @dudes4harris, the account was suspended "to due a user report." One of the group's organizers said it was suspened for "violating [X's] rules against evading suspension."
The Spin
Elon Musk's X appears to be treating Democrats the same way he alleges other companies are doing to Trump supporters. If you own a social media platform and claim to be a free speech absolutist, it's not a good look to take down a campaign account that hosted over 100k people to discuss their support and raise $4M for their candidate. This decision was clearly aimed at damaging Kamala Harris and her widely diverse and popular campaign.
Complaining about a temporary account suspension on technical grounds proves Democrats don't understand what true censorship is; and why they fail to understand the grievances of Trump supporters. Another example of how out-of-touch Harris' campaign is that the "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call was hosted by liberal Hollywood elites. If Harris understood the average American, she wouldn't have these group representing her.
