Kirstie Alley Sparks Intense Backlash After Equating Trump's Social Media Bans To 'Slavery'

On Friday, January 8, The American Civil Liberties Union, a staunch free speech advocate, issued a statement expressing concern over President Trump's recent removal from Twitter.

Actress Kirstie Alley shared the ACLU's statement in a now-deleted tweet in which she went further, comparing Trump's removal to "slavery."


In the deleted tweet, Alley wrote:

"ALL people should be concerned is the KEY here. It's true, the average person will no longer have a platform to speak their views. This is called SLAVERY. This censorship proves BIG TECH now holds the keys to the chains."

On Twitter, the backlash against Alley's tweet was immediate and intense.



Alley wrote another post seeming to defend her initial insensitivity.



Apparently, Alley doesn't take freedom of speech quite as seriously as she claims.


Alley has continued to tweet, comparing the violence storming and breach at the Capitol with law enforcement arresting and dispersing protesters outside a federal building in July while insisting no one should be removed from social media platforms.



Many on Twitter couldn't wait to point out what was wrong with Alley's point of view.



Obviously, being removed from Twitter is absolutely nothing like slavery. Kirstie Alley, who has never experienced either of these things, would probably do well to remember that.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
