Twitter for good as he said he "would rather die" than delete the tweet about Elliot Page that got his account suspended.Last week those close to Peterson revealed that Twitter had suspended his account, and he could get it back within 12 hours if he deleted a tweet which mentioned back when Pride was a "sin" and referenced the "criminal physician" who removed "Ellen" Page's breasts.Peterson has now spoken out against Twitter and addressed the remarks he made that got him banned from the platform.
The Canadian social media personality posted a near-15 minute video to his Instagram and YouTube pages addressing the situation and doubling down on his original statement."The suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the hateful tweet in question.
And I would rather die than do that," Peterson said in the video he posted late on Friday."What was it that I said that caused such a fuss?
What exactly was it that I said that resulted in the ban?" Peterson asked, as he went on to dissect the original tweet regarding Page.Peterson's daughter Mikhaila shared a screenshot of the original tweet and the message from Twitter that her father received.Wow. @jordanbpeterson got a twitter strike.
