Twitter has a removed a post from 1980’s pop singer Richard Marx that GOP Sen. Rand Paul said encourage violence against him.
The social media/messaging platform said Wednesday the Marx’s tweet violated its rules, according to Politico.
Paul on Tuesday criticized Marx and his tweet, calling him a “C-list” celebrity on Just The News’ “The Water Cooler” after the Kentucky senator received a package with threatening messages, pictures and a mysterious white powder in it.
Marx’s now-removed tweet read: “I’ll say it again: If I ever meet Rand Paul’s neighbor, I’m going to hug him and buy him as many drinks as he can consume,”
Marx’s tweet referred to a 2017 incident in which Paul was assaulted by his neighbor while doing yard work, breaking six of his ribs and resulting in him having part of his lung removed.
