        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Representative Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) said he was carrying a “badge of honor” after Twitter labeled one of his tweets against Antifa, saying it violated the platform’s policies against glorifying violence.</p><p>Gaetz, a prominent ally of President Trump who in 2018 was “shadow banned” by Twitter to limit his visibility, tweeted Monday calling members of Antifa “terrorists.”</p><p>“Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?” Gaetz asked — a day after the president declared he was labeling the far-left anarchist group a terrorist organization.</p><p>After prominent gun control activists, including Senator Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), criticized the tweet for inciting tensions and warned it could spark a mass shooting amid nationwide protests and riots over the death of George Floyd, Twitter tagged it and limited engagements with it.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?</p><p>— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1267513356853919744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>Following the decision, Gaetz <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1267615035767107586" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">accused</a> Twitter of “enabling” Antifa. “Antifa is a terrorist organization, encouraging riots that hurt Americans. Our government should hunt them down,” he tweeted. He also <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1267582801886535682" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">slammed</a> Murphy for “woke virtue signaling.”</p><p>Gaetz’s flagging comes less than a week after Twitter <strong>suppressed</strong> a tweet from President Trump about the Minnesota riots, saying his use of the phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” also glorified violence.</p><p>Trump responded by calling for Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which gives Twitter liability protection from third-party comments, to be revoked or reformed. Gaetz <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1267605537790853133" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> on Monday in support of the mounting criticisms leveled against Twitter by conservatives who claim the platform is engaging in censorship and editorializing.</p>]]></content:encoded>
