Actor James Woods says that he’s not going to take Democrats pressuring Twitter to silence him lying down — he is taking action.
Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, had vowed to expose the internal discussion behind the decision to suppress the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell story ahead of the 2020 Presidential Election.
On Friday evening, Musk delivered via an epic Twitter thread by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.

‘The Twitter Files’ Exposes How The Hunter Biden Laptop Story Was Suppressed By Twitter
One of the revelations from the thread was that political agents — on both the left and the right — were contacting Twitter employees to censor tweets that they didn’t like. While both parties had access to these “tools”, the Democrats had an upper hand since their ideology was aligned with censorious Big Tech employees.
Early in the thread, Taibbi noted that a tweet by James Woods had been sent to Twitter to be “handled” and there was hesitation since Woods was a prominent figure.
Taibbi shares a screenshot of Twitter’s internal communications regarding tweets that the Biden team and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) had requested to be reviewed. One of those tweets was one by James Woods.

James Woods’ Twitter account was targeted by Twitter at the request of the Democratic National Committee, according to findings by the company’s new CEO Elon Musk.
On Friday, Musk shared bombshell revelations about what took place at Twitter behind-the-scenes in a thread shared on the social media platform by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.
“Celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party,” Taibbi wrote alongside a screenshot of an email exchange between Twitter employees.

Woods appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show by phone about the revelation that a political party was working behind the scenes to silence a private citizen.
The 75-year-old actor said that his career is essentially over now thanks to the targeting from Big Tech, but even young actors are blacklisted if they follow him on social media.
He called the DNC “vermin” and vowed to sue.
“I can guarantee you one thing more than anything else you’ll ever hear in your life: I will be getting a lawyer. I will be suing the Democratic National Committee no matter what,” said Woods.
“Whether I win or lose, I am going to stand up for the rights that every American — not a so-called celebrity. I’m not a celebrity. I’m hardly recognizable anymore because my career has been destroyed by these very people,” he continued.
“And I will sue. And I’m hoping other people will sue. And if it turns out there are a lot of us on this list where the DNC targeted us, then I will quote the immortal words of Joseph Welch when he attacked [Wisconsin Senator] Joseph McCarthy for the enemies list he had — ‘At long last or have you no shame?” said Woods.
Woods also had a special message for President Joe Biden, “I am not afraid of you and I’m coming for you.”

Yes, I meant to say Hamilton, but said John Adams by mistake. At any rate Monroe was indeed just 18 years old that year. John Hancock was 39. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were 31 and 19 (possibly 21, his birth year uncertain) respectively. https://t.co/2d3d5uAdjT

If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022
Twitter acting by itself to suppress free speech is not a 1st amendment violation, but acting under orders from the government to suppress free speech, with no judicial review, is

Woods quote tweeted Musk, “Agree. How would you like to fund a class action suit for those who were suppressed? I’ll be happy to be lead plaintiff. Thank you, @elonmusk.”
