Trump Twitter Ban: 'Game of Thrones' Fans Furious as George R.R. Martin Quote Is Used to Defend President
President Donald Trump's supporters are finding creative ways to rage against his permanent ban [...]
George R. R. Martin's Politics
prevnextGeorge recently posted to his blog criticising Trump’s heinous actions, so pretty gross to use his image and quote to defend him, and besides, his tongue hasn’t been torn out. Trump is still a privileged man who can use any number of platforms he has to speak out.

There's even birds involved with twitter, as you are sending "tweets". Tyrion is talking about an order where the government would punish everyone heard speaking the truth about joffrey. Literally the government censoring speech. You all have no reading comprehension.

This is so funny bc it's about the president of the United States, who can go on tv anytime he wants and be broadcast immediately to the entire world 😂 https://t.co/PeM68HKUAd

Did you know the President can issue a press statement whenever he wants? He can do an interview, he can call a journalist. Twitter is a platform, not the only way to talk to people. You don’t have a constitutional right to use a private company’s app.

Other Martin Quotes
prevnext"Make no mistake, these are not protestors, these are not patriots, these are rioters attempting to destroy our democracy.
They are traitors.
And the traitor in chief is Donald J. Trump.
He should be arrested, removed from office, tried for treason, convicted..." --GRRM https://t.co/NB7Mc91lzK
