Conservative Hollywood actor James Woods has confirmed that he was locked out of Twitter late last week “because I posted a sarcastic remark about Democrats.”
That’s according to Kaya Jones, a former member of the Pussycat Dolls and fellow conservative, who shared an email on Twitter that she said was from the outspoken actor.
“From Mr. woods himself. With his permission I asked him if I could share with you all as I know how much you all adore him,” Jones tweeted.

“Today, I am not in the mood for jokes,” the statement said to be from Woods says.
“The facts are I was banned from Twitter yesterday because of an anonymous complaint referencing a tweet I posted in July (yes, the Stasi mentality lives on in the Twittersphere it seems),” the email continues. “Henceforth, my 1.7 million followers will no longer hear my views.
“The purge of conservatives continues unabated on social media (and yes, it was because I posted a sarcastic remark about Democrats).”
As reported on BizPac Review, the tweet was “a satirical meme that made fun of so-called soy boys, i.e., limp-wristed liberal men devoid of testosterone, confidence and really everything else that makes a man a man.”
According to Sara Miller, who is said to be Woods girlfriend, the actor responded with a message for Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: “You are a coward, @jack. There is no free speech for Conservatives on @Twitter.”

Woods cautioned about the long-term effects of such censorship as currently being seen on social media.
“The good news, I guess, is that liberals ( Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEO, is an unabashed liberal) are now closer to their nirvana of a world without criticism or opposition.” he said in the email. “The bad news is that they inevitable will be next.”
“The reason I am sending this to you is that, liberal or conservative, I know every single one of you agrees that this muzzle on free speech is a cancer that, if allowed to metastasize, will destroy this nation and everything it stands for.”
As for Woods’ current status, Jones clarified in response to a social media user that he remains “locked out” of his account.

A #FreeJamesWoods hashtag has been created and there’s plenty of support for the actor seen online.
In the end, Dorsey’s biggest challenge may prove to be his own social media platform Woods has been locked out of.
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter, including Donald Trump Jr.:
There’s literally nothing wrong with this @RealJamesWoods meme other than @Twitter using it as an excuse to silence a strong conservative voice. The bias continues! https://t.co/7tnZtaN4dr

Hello Kaya,
Please let James know we miss him dearly! That is hardly an offensive tweet (my opinion). I mean with all the disgusting (my opinion) free speech from the progressive Left just during the Kavanaugh hearings & now the circus afterward, expose such a double-standard.
