Twitter Suspends Account Due to Thomas Jefferson Lyric

"I am a lyricist as well as a composer, but for this piece, I decided to use someone else's words," says Kevin Johnston, creator of the song. "I have always thought the Declaration of Independence was poetic."

Johnston had some surprises in store when he posted a video of the song. Either some didn't realize this was the Declaration, or they did know and objected anyway.

Johnston says, "We are in a new era, where certain groups are trying to rewrite America's history to fit their prejudices. Now the song has been banned from Twitter. My Twitter account was permanently suspended. This means the Declaration of Independence has been banned." He adds, “The Twitter suspension happened the same day Trump’s account was restored.”
