Fox News host Pete Hegseth was suspended by Twitter on Saturday for showing a tweet from the alleged Saudi military official who shot up a Naval Air Station (NAS) in Pensacola last week.
Hegseth wrote in an Instagram post:
“Yesterday, I was BANNED from [Twitter] — because I posted a screen shot of the terrorist from Florida tweeting his Islamist motivations. That’s it, a screen shot of a terrorist in his own words.
If they can ban me, they will ban anyone. We need to fight back. Heck, I posted the terrorist screen shot on this post too, so stay tune for [Instagram] banning me too. Big tech does the bidding of the Left, especially to include anyone who speaks truth about the threat of radical Islam.”

The Tweet that Twitter demanded Hegseth remove, said:
"Here’s the (now-blocked) tweet from the Saudi Islamist, [suspect’s name], who murdered 3 brave Americans in Florida. The coward posted it just hours before his terrorist attack.
This is Islamist terror. No reason to ever mince words. Saudi Arabia must be held to account.”
Hegseth’s tweet also included a screenshot of the alleged terrorist’s tweet.
In a follow-up Instagram post, Hegseth posted his response to Twitter in his appeal over their decision to suspend him.

The message that he typed stated:
“You blocked me b/c I shared the words — and motivation — of an Islamist terrorist. What are you afraid of? @FoxNews”
