Twitter censors photo of Republican Candidate doing push-ups
|
Twitter moderators mistakenly disabled a video of House Republican candidate Rich McCormick doing push ups with his sons for PTSD awareness, a company spokesperson said Friday without providing an explanation for the error.
Users were unable to watch the Thursday video, which contained a “sensitive content” label, if they were not logged into Twitter or were otherwise not following McCormick. People who followed the military veteran or were already logged in had access to the video, which shows McCormick and his sons doing pushups outside in the rain.
A Twitter spokesman told the Daily Caller News Foundation that McCormick’s video was flagged in error and is being corrected. He did not provide a reason for speaking anonymously, but Twitter’s press office often requests anonymity when speaking to journalists.
McCormick, a physician and candidate for Georgia’s 7th congressional district, is participating in an online challenge in which he must do 22 pushups per day for 22 days in support of soldiers who suffer from PTSD.

“Day 6 of the #22pushupchallenge with my sons….in the rain,” he wrote in a tweet accompanying the video, adding:”#PTSD is not something to be ashamed of. To all my #veteran brothers and sisters out there you are loved!! If you are having a problem reach out!”
McCormick posted five other tweets on his account that include videos of him doing pushups, none of which were censored.
