(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Twitter account of a Christian news outlet was restored after the publication was suspended for nine months over a tweet saying that Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Richard Levine, who is delusional enough to claim he is a woman named “Rachel,” is a man.
The Christian Post was finally given back its account on Saturday only after Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, hoping to make the social media platform more free speech oriented, according to the Daily Wire.
According to the Christian Post, the publication received an email from the old Twitter in March, in which the company accused a conservative evangelical publication of “hateful conduct.”
After claiming that following the science — biology — is “hateful,” Twitter warned the publication that they “temporarily limited some” features of the account, like the ability to tweet and like posts from other Twitter users.
The publication decided to state the obvious fact after a leftist publication — USA Today — included Richard Levine in the list of its “Women of the Year.”
The Christian Post “refused to retract” the true statement that they made because they have journalistic commitments and religious convictions, the outlet tweeted.
“We understand our ethical obligation to provide accuracy over narrative and truth over opinion. Calling a man a man is a scientific truth, not an opinion. Editorializing facts is called commentary, opinion, or, in some cases, dishonesty,” according to their Twitter thread.
“But more importantly, as Christians, our primary responsibility is to God and advancing His truth. This is why we refused to capitulate on our biblical standards of truth by bowing down to the immoral demands of Twitter’s former leadership.”
“In this case, obedience to God meant judgment by man. As living sacrifices to God, this was a small but necessary line for us to draw,” the Post added.
The outlet also thanked Musk for restoring the account and committing to free speech.
