A Black Trump supporter is complaining because he says Twitter gave him a “hateful conduct warning” for his recent political comments, reports the Daily Mail.
Terrence K. Williams, a self-described actor, comedian and commentator, told his nearly 650,000 followers about the warning in a Twitter rant.
He accused the site of trying to take down his account before he could meet the president during a Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House.
Williams took a screenshot and posted the message from Twitter Legal. He has since struck back, saying his comments that were critical of Adam Schiff (D-CA) were not in violation of Twitter’s policies.

He also said he is being targeted for being a Black Trump supporter.
“I'm pissed off. You mean to tell me that it's hateful because I'm a Black man that supports Donald J. Trump?…I'm an American who supports the President… how is that hateful?”
Politico reports Trump tried to reach out to Black voters and used the Young Black Leadership Summit as a way to invite people like Candace Owens, Ja’Ron Smith and Williams to show that he has Black supporters.
“Trump complimented Smith for his role with the White House and commended Owens for her television appearances and Williams for his tweets about actress Debra Messing, a Trump foil,” Politico reported.
The president returned the favor to the trio by complimenting them during his speech.
“You are my friends. I’m never going to forget you. You’ve been incredible. You’ve been incredible. Whether it’s Ja’Ron — the job you do; or Charlie, I appreciate it; or Terrence; or Candace, you’re all special people. Very, very special people.”
