Ted Cruz Leaves FB, Twitter Executives Speechless by Asking if Mother Teresa Is Now Deemed ‘Hate Speech’
Madison Summers

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) had the public policy directors of Facebook and Twitter shook and left speechless when he flat-out asked if Mother Teresa is now considered “hate speech.”

During Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary subcommittee, the Republican senator pointed to a censored tweet of a quote from Mother Teresa, saying that “it’s not just political, it’s also ideological”:

“There have been multiple instances of, in particular, pro-life groups being disfavored. For example, here is a tweet that says that ‘abortion is profoundly anti-women,’ and it’s a quote from Mother Teresa, and this tweet was blocked. Now, it is fairly remarkable that Mother Teresa is now deemed hate speech.”
