The controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is no longer verified on Twitter, likely thanks to a tweet linking to a bizarre three-hour long sermon denouncing Jews.
Minister Farrakhan, who is famous for his anti-Semitic views, tweeted the link to his sermon last Wednesday with the caption "thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan."
Twitter guidelines state that user accounts may be unverified if they are "promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease' among other reasons."
Farrakhan's account was still verified with a blue tick last Friday, but the verified status had disappeared by Sunday. A spokesperson for Twitter told the Daily Caller, that the company was "unable to comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons."
