To avoid turmoil, Biden should promise to pardon Trump

Add Lou Barletta to the list of people who have evidently run afoul of Twitter&rsquo;s term of service.
				The former congressman&rsquo;s Twitter account has been suspended recently.
				Barletta, a supporter of President Donald Trump, said he did not realize his account had been suspended until asked about it by a reporter on Sunday. He also said he did not know why his account was suspended.
				From a separate account used primarily during his days in Congress, Barletta tweeted out a short statement regarding the suspension, saying that &ldquo;they can suspend my Twitter but they will not stop me from being a voice for the people of PA!&rdquo;
				Barletta also released a statement to the Times Leader following the suspension:
				&ldquo;I am shocked and outraged that Twitter has decided to suspend my account. They did this without warning, without reason and without any communication,&rdquo; Barletta said. &ldquo;I am just a private citizen&#8230;Twitter silenced a private citizen merely just because they didn&rsquo;t agree with them?
				&ldquo;All Americans should be terrified by this&#8230;no one business or person should be able to decide what voices and opinions are able to be heard.&rdquo;
				Barletta concluded his statement by saying &ldquo;we all need to realize that &lsquo;Big Tech&rsquo; is now choosing who has their First Amendment rights and who does not.&rdquo; 
				A review of his recent tweets offers no evidence of why the account was suspended.
				Barletta&rsquo;s most recent tweet was two days ago and questioned those calling for Trump&rsquo;s impeachment or the use of the 25th amendment.
				The same day he tweeted calling on the Pennsylvania legislature and Gov. Tom Wolf to &ldquo;pass laws to restore our election integrity.&rdquo;
				He also tweeted on Wednesday that the attack on the Capitol was &ldquo;totally unacceptable and un-American. Violence and destruction are NEVER the answer.&rdquo;
				Twitter suspended the president&rsquo;s account on Friday.
