Find the video of Jones saying that. He doesn't say what the BBC claims he does; BBC doesn't include video of him saying those things because such a video doesn't exist. It's not his fault the victims received death threats. He did not advocate for deranged people to send death threats. Just off the top of my head, Peter Fonda: "We should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles..." https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/peter-fonda-baron-trump-secret-service/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/peter-fonda-baron-tr... He wasn't banned. Sarah Jeong, despicable racist now working at NYT: "oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men". http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/08/02/new-york-times-stands-by-new-tech-writer-sarah-jeong-after-racist-tweets-surface.html http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/08/02/new-york-tim... Also not banned. Please find me one example of a prominent Twitter Leftist being banned for saying something "hateful", whatever that means.

Both apologized. Sarah's were taken out of context. >“We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done … her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers,” The Times said in a statement. “She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.” https://youtu.be/MMcSXNKLY7I https://youtu.be/MMcSXNKLY7I 0:24 https://youtu.be/To91BJGKr5I https://youtu.be/To91BJGKr5I 10:30 >Please find me one example of a prominent Twitter Leftist being banned for saying something "hateful", whatever that means https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/28/antifa-banned-twitter-texas/ https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/28/antifa-banned-twitter-tex... Though as I guess someone on the left side of the political spectrum, I would be as offended to be associated with antifa as a fiscal conservative would be to be associated with Alex Jones.

  Her tweets were taken out of context? No. She tried to justify her racism by saying white people had done mean things to her on the internet in the past. That's an incredibly broken mindset and accepting her attempted justification just perpetuates racism. But it's against white people so I guess that's not a big deal. Also I said prominent, the conservatives I mentioned each had around 1 million followers. That Antifa student group, orders of magnitude less.

    Well, I don't have an answer for you for why prominent "leftists" (we may disagree on definition of this term) do not violate the Twitter ToS at quite the frequency of conservatives.
