Facebook removed a post by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., about protesters on Wednesday, saying it violated the social media platform’s rules against inciting violence, according to a report. In a post on the congressman’s campaign account, Higgins included an image of armed demonstrators and wrote, "One way ticket fellas. He is very candid and direct," a spokesperson from Higgins' campaign told Fox News. Protests have erupted across the nation following the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody in May. The police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man from Kenosha, Wisc., sparked more nationwide protests in late August.
