Twitter locks McConnell campaign account after posting video of protester shouting threats, profanities

This is interesting because it is not what one might first presume from the headline. The MacConnell campaign had put up a video that included

Black Lives Matter Louisville leader Chanelle Helm repeatedly cursing and stating that she wished the GOP leader had "broken his little, raggedy, wrinkled-ass neck" instead of injuring his shoulder last weekend, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. Helm later said, "Just stab the motherf---er in the heart" after a man made a reference to a voodoo doll. The comment quickly went viral on social media.

and this is what Twitter ruled as against their terms.
