Twitter will not suspend controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan for a tweet comparing Jews to insects, the company said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

Farrakhan, who has been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism throughout his career, yesterday tweeted a video clip of a speech in which he denied that he was anti-Semitic, with the caption, “I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite.”

Any thoughts on Twitter and Louis Farrakhan (pictured below, with an admirer)?

Twitter is basically the PR arm of the left.

At some point, people will get enough of how Twitter operates their platform and leave.

Not just insects but the most destructive insects that swarm and demolish property.

Dont you support zero labor rights and private corporate tyranny? You have cheered this on. You should embrace the consequences.

Seriously? President Twitterhead is putting out all that garbage on behalf of the Left?

Um--ok Alex--I'll take 'What is Trump's Favorite Platform for Making Offensive Insults and Dishonest Boasting?' for $1,000.

Wow--had no idea the Trumps were a bunch of liberal commie pinkos. Thanks for the tip.

Remember - anything you can criticize is a leftist conspiracy.

What? Isn't that just kind of a lame play on sounds?

Was he actually comparing the jews to insects? Doesn't sound like that to me.

Much ado about nothing. Again.

Nation of Islam is a hate group. If you allow them on twitter, you have to allow the KKK etc. sad to say.

Oh, sourcing...
