In an instance that Twitter declared fair game, Rosie O'Donnell tells Ben Shapiro to "suck my d***" and "lick me." Talk about bias.
The Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro reported Rosie O'Donnell's abusive language. Twitter came back with an official response explaining why this was not a violation. Keep in mind this was after Rosie already offered $2 million dollars to senators who would vote against the new Trump tax bill.
No Violation
Surprise of surprises, Twitter says that @Rosie's tweets were not in fact abusive in any way under their rules. Good to know. pic.twitter.com/6tMuIWRgth

Not the best explanation, especially when you factor in Twitter's "Hateful Conduct Policy":
Examples of what we do not tolerate includes, but is not limited to behavior that harasses individuals or groups of people with … repeated and/or or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone.
Per Daily Wire:
Twitter’s seemingly arbitrary decisions when it comes to silencing its users have elicited scrutiny for some time; their suspensions of Milo Yiannopoulos (for attacking actress Leslie Jones on Twitter by saying that she was a “barely literate…black dude”) and Roger Stone (reportedly for tweeting that CNN anchor Don Lemon was “dumb piece of s***”) drew scrutiny last year. Twitter also suspended Rose McGowan in October, after she told Ben Affleck to “f*** off”; Twitter claimed she was suspended for tweeting out a private phone number in a screenshot of an email from a Hollywood assistant. And of course, Twitter also suspended an ad from Rep. Marsha Blackburn that accused Planned Parenthood of selling baby body parts.
So as long as you are not a conservative you have a much longer leash on Twitter. The instances above were clearly not as bad as what Rosie O'Donnell did, yet she remains active. Not to mention she committed a felony before that right out in the open for anyone to see.
Additionally, Rosie O'Donnell blocked Shapiro, so it seems the fun may be coming to an end. You never know when the leftist will come unhinged and unblock him though. Stay tuned.
