Parler reportedly removes post from pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood after calling for Mike Pence's execution
.
Parler hit further headwinds over the weekend after the social networking service reportedly removed a post by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, where he threatened violence against Vice President Mike Pence.
This comes as Parler will likely be knocked offline for a week after Google and Apple removed it from their app stores and Amazon said it would boot it off its web hosting service, severely limiting its reach to its more than 10 million users after the app was among those used to organize the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Wood's message violated the company’s terms of service and was removed, Parler chief executive John Matze told Mediaite.
“Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST,” Wood wrote Thursday on Parler, according to Mediaite.
Woods has responded on his Parler account: "The use of rhetorical hyperbole is NOT unlawful," he wrote, further laying out a punishment for treason and stating only law enforcement can administer it. "Parler should NOT chill free speech including rhetorical hyperbole."
