Carpe Donktum Permanently Banned From Twitter Over Satirical “Racist Toddler” Video

[RedState] Twitter user and prolific meme maker Carpe Donktum, who is regularly retweeted by President Trump, has been permanently banned from Twitter, allegedly because of a copyright infringement claim lodged by the parents of one of the toddlers in a satirical “racist toddler” video Donktum created that was tweeted by POTUS.

The original video showed two toddlers, one white and one black, running to hug one another. The version posted by Donktum, mocking CNN’s habit of posting chyrons stating pretty much the opposite of what the truth is, was edited to make it appear that the black toddler was running away from the white toddler, presumably in fear. The chyron read: “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby.”

After the black toddler’s fathers lodged a copyright claim, both Twitter and Facebook removed the video, which, for the moment, survives on YouTube:

That was at the time this piece was posted. Not anymore.

The man who runs the Carpe Donktum Twitter account says that he received a takedown notice from Twitter Tuesday morning and complied, but received a suspension letter a few hours later.
