Free speech is a concept lost on liberals. Left-wing Fusion proved that the morning of the presidential inauguration by asking Twitter to delete the account of the president elect.

The network, run by top Hillary funder Haim Saban, responded to a Trump Tweet with a video calling for Trump’s account to be shut down. The video features Romina Puga, host of Fusion Now saying the president elect should be banned for “repeatedly violating Twitter’s terms of service.” The site went so far as to call for Trump to be banned again if he used the official @Potus account in ways Fusion didn’t like.

Puga, who claims she is “also known as the Carrot Top of interviewers,” then listed of series of what she argued were violations. In reality, they were just Trump expressing his opinion. Liberals have a tough time with the difference.

According to Puga, Trump violated Twitter’s “Hateful conduct” rules which state: “You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.” How? Because Trump linked to a proposal to limit Muslim immigration. Remember, Fusion editor Dodai Stewart proclaimed the outlet to be the “voice of the resistance” to a Trump presidency.

Puga went on to claim that Trump harassed people by disagreeing with them, arguing he’s responsible for other people then harassing people he disagreed with. “Trump repeatedly and knowingly uses his Twitter account to direct hate, abuse and harassment,” she said. Such “harassment” included criticizing Steelworkers union head Chuck Jones and a young woman who had asked a question of Trump. In neither case did Trump call for people to do anything to the people in question.

Fusion wasn’t done. Puga also argued that banning Trump would limit his ability to “piss off foreign leaders” with “3 a.m. Tweet sprees.”

The site asked Twitter for a formal response and all the company reportedly said was: “The Twitter rules apply to all accounts.”

Saban’s support for Hillary Clinton is enormous. Check out this Politico paragraph detailing the millions of dollars: “And it’s not just that the private equity magnate, worth $3.6 billion according to Bloomberg, is the only West Coast donor to host Clinton for high-dollar fundraisers multiple times this cycle, contributing with his wife roughly $11.5 million to pro-Clinton 2016 efforts on top of his foundation contributions of between $10 million and $25 million, his $5 million for Bill Clinton’s presidential library in 2002, and his $7 million for a new Democratic National Committee headquarters.”
