Babylon Bee Suspended by Twitter Over Parody Article About Rachel Levine

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

The Babylon Bee has been suspended by Twitter over a parody article about transgender assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine.

The website’s CEO Seth Dillon posted a series of tweets about the suspension, which was dished out for violating Twitter’s rules “against hateful conduct.”

Under Twitter rules, the offending tweet must be deleted in order to start a 12 hour countdown clock to enable the account to be restored.

However, Dillon has vowed not to delete the tweet.

“We’re not deleting anything. Truth is not hate speech. If the cost of telling the truth is the loss of our Twitter account, then so be it,” he wrote.

The article was in response to USA Today naming Levine the official Woman of the Year, despite the fact that he was born a man.

The Babylon Bee’s Man Of The Year Is Rachel Levine, read the headline of the Babylon Bee article.

“Rachel’s original name is Richard Levine, but he changed it to Rachel for some strange reason a few years ago. Who cares? Who says a dude as accomplished as this can’t be named ‘Rachel?’ This king doesn’t care what people think about him! He often wears a dress, which some people think is weird — but he doesn’t care one bit. Come on! Men in India wear dress-type garments, don’t they? Since announcing this award, we’ve been told that Levine actually identifies as a woman. We have still chosen to give the award as his self-identification has no bearing on the truth. Congratulations, Rachel Levine!,” the article read.

Dillon urged people to refuse to self-censor, suggesting it was unlikely that Twitter would mass ban millions of people.

“I can think of a few ways: 1. Never censor yourself. Insist that 2 and 2 make 4 even if Twitter tries to compel you to say otherwise. Make them ban tens of millions of us,” he wrote.

The controversy arrived at the same time as another similar farce, the success of transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, another biological male who dominated a championship qualifying race.

And yet TBP has a Twatter link on it. Why? Why do you support such a fascist org? Ill take TBP seriously when they put a red circle with line through the FB and Twatter links and disable them.

I just skip anything twatter connected on TBP(or anywhere else) and wonder why twatter crap keeps getting posted here.

Thanks, Grumpy. I wonder the same about several conservative sites. Why do they link to fb and twit, and WHY are they still on fb and twit?

Twitter needs to be abolished. Anyone who has an account is a complete idiot.

Same for FB. And keeping an account makes more money for those bastards. More “accounts” means higher ad rates. Close your accounts. I closed mine when they kicked Trump off.

“Rachel”.
“Admiral”.
“Doctor”.
“Woman”.
“Science”.

For awhile I left Twitter, but decided it was more fun to piss off the virtue signalers. After all, singing to or with the choir is easy, but not very effective.

I refuse to play along with some stranger’s sexual fantasy. Richard Levine is the father of two. His wife left him shortly after he decided to play girl. I’m sure his kids and their mom are so proud of dad, ersatz admiral and woman.

Ah, yes – a new rank in today’s woke military: “ersatz” admiral. The trans-reality express rocketing to oblivion and points downward has left the station at warped speed. KP duty is now short for kiddie patrol. Come on, TBP denizens, let’s have some more rank ranks. Company present imaginations! Forward, TYPE! Keyboard Kommandoes reporting for satire duty, sir!

The nose always knows. As well its got black teeth FFS. WTAF is wrong with this country. Is it the adrenochrome? Or demonic possession?

As little Billy Covington would say, man who chop of weenie, still not a queenie.

The black teeth, the beady little eyes…Dick looks like the kind of grimy Jew who would crawl out of an alley in medieval Warsaw to offer you sex with a midget for 2 shekels.

FFS, they don’t even know what comedy and satire is.

That is the surest sign the US has completely failed.

God is not amused, and I think it’s because this has gone way past the “funny, haha” stage of humor to something far more pathological and serious that’s warped values and perceptions.

What’s Twitter? Never saw it……and not concerned that I didn’t. This is as close to “social media” as I do.

These people will force us to deny reality only as much as we let them. If we let them, they will turn the planet into the most insane and authoritarian existence in history. I think most have figured it out now: Don’t give one single inch to these reality-deniers. Also, in the immortal words of Rainman: Twitter Sucks Ray…It Sucks!

The Babylon Bee is sadly one of the best sources of truth out there. Indeed, fuck Twitter.

I’m torn whether Levine is uglier as a man or as a woman. Either way, he’s certainly butt ugly. Men are a lot more hornier than women. Maybe he thought he could score easier as a woman if he hung out at truck stops.

Using “Queer of the Year” may have prevented the suspension. (probably not)

Just saw the BB CEO on Tucker. Said he’s not going to drop the headline and that twotter can go pound sand. Hope he stands by his convictions and doesn’t fold like most of them end up doing. If people cannot employ satire as a means to spread the TRUTH – we are not a free nation. NEVER give up your freedom to speak the truth. NEVER live on your knees. NEVER EVER let them goad you into surrendering your will to recognize the difference between LIES and TRUTH – and thus your dignity as a human being. This is a full-on attempt to capture your very soul by denying you your GOD-GIVEN inalienable rights. Take them to the mat, if necessary. Be always vigilant and NEVER CAPITULATE!

It should really be illegal to be that ugly. Think of all the small children that have seen that face and suffered permanent phycological damage.
