Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has announced that he is leaving Twitter for good after his account was suspended for sharing the video of President Trump telling DC protesters to go home.
Social media censorship and bans have increased in recent days, as even Trump was locked out of multiple accounts.
Bongino is one of the first high-profile conservatives to call it quits with Twitter.
The Washington Examiner reports:
EXCLUSIVE: Dan Bongino leaves Twitter after he’s locked out of account and says he’s moving exclusively to ParlerConservative commentator Dan Bongino is leaving Twitter, saying, “F— these a–holes” after his account was locked.“I’m leaving the platform permanently for Parler. I’ll post my final tweet and message for Twitter tomorrow when the 12-hour lockdown ends,” he told the Washington Examiner. “F— these a–holes.”Bongino has a massive following on Twitter, reaching nearly 3 million followers. He will jump to Parler, which was founded in 2018 and has been lauded as a platform that protects free speech.He was blocked from his account for violating Twitter’s rules regarding “civic integrity” for posting a video President Trump released yesterday on his social media accounts asking for protesters to go home after they stormed the Capitol, and it included claims the “election was stolen.”…Bongino, who leaves behind a profitable, highly engaged Twitter account, told the Washington Examiner he’s standing on principle, “Twitter needs me, I don’t need them. I provide them with content. Hopefully, this leads to more high-profile accounts leaving Twitter.”

This morning Dan posted hisfinal tweet:
This will be my final post on this anti-American platform. The greatest threats to liberty are the destructive tech tyrants who have acted as publishers in their ongoing wars on conservatives & free speech. You can find me on Parler, where we respect free speech. I’m “dbongino.”
[WAJ adds: You can follow us on Parler @legalinsurrection and MeWee @legalinsurrection. When our new webite rolls out in a few weeks, we will have Parler, and MeWee share buttons.]
While we’re on the subject of Dan Bongino, I want to share a clip from his appearance on the Sean Hannity show on Wednesday night. He made some excellent points about the hypocrisy of Democrats and the media, and the double standard on how behavior is covered depending on politics. Watch:

The social media purge is going to continue. If you spend any time on Twitter, you have probably seen multiple people claim that they have lost various amounts of followers in the last few days.
That is not happening by accident.
