Twitter obscured a tweet sent by Rep. Matt Gaetz on Monday, finding that the Florida Republican had violated its policies prohibiting tweets that glorify violence. But Twitter didn’t delete the tweet, instead deciding to hide it and require users to click a “View” button to see the tweet’s contents.

In a tweet posted Monday morning, Gaetz wrote: “Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?”
