Twitter reverses decision on campaign ad

Posted online

Twitter changed its mind about a decision to block a campaign video posted by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee.

I'd like to give a 'shout - out' to Twitter for their decision to change their mind. A willingness to be open to change is so needed right now. From both sides of MOST issues. Thank You
