- Tweeted about ‘unmasking the Satanic Jew’, in a link to a 3 hour long sermon
- Twitter has strict policy about verifying people who ‘promote hate’ in tweets
- Farrakhan seems to have lost the blue check sometime on Friday afternoon
Louis Farrakhan seems to have lost his verification on Twitter.
The Nation of Islam leader, who is known for his fiery rhetoric, recently gave a three hour sermon at his mosque in Chicago, during which he addressed President Trump, Harvey Weinstein, antisemitism and the #MeToo movement.
Farrakhan, on May 28, gave a sermon at his mosque in Chicago. In which he talked about Judaism.
On Wednesday, Farrakhan tweeted a link to his sermon, with this headline, which many see as anti-semetic
Earlier this week he tweeted a link to video of the May 28th sermon with the headline, ‘Thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.’
The tweet may have triggered Twitter to act on their guidelines that dictate they will unverify people for ‘promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease’ among other reasons.
He was still verified on Friday, but seems to have had that blue check removed overnight.
Farrakhan’s Twitter page on Saturday, he no long has the blue ‘verified’ check on his account
