Twitter banned Jesse Kelly; says to Tucker Carlson: “They’ll come for you, too”

A few months ago, Big Tech tested its power by banning Alex Jones. No one said much because “it’s Alex Jones. Eewww….”
But conservative pundit and combat veteran Jesse Kelly did write something about the AJ banning for The Federalist:
The Left Won’t Stop At Alex Jones. The Slippery Slope Is Real, And We’re On It

Tucker found his ideas “compelling” and invited him on the show. At the time, Jesse said to Tucker, “They’re coming for you and me next.”

Fast forwards a couple of months. Turned out he was right. Jesse was just permanently banned from Twitter; he cannot appeal the banning for “rules violations.” This is in contradiction to what they [Twitter] told Congress (that Twitter users are told the reasons why their accounts are temporarily or permanently banned). Kelly: “All of a sudden, my account vanished like a Hillary Clinton e-mail.”
Tucker asked if Kelly contacted Twitter to find out why. Jesse said there’s no way to do that once your account is banished. “I knew they would come for me. They’ll come for you, too.”
