Known for his role as Artie Abrams in the Fox comedy-drama series Glee, Kevin McHale states in his Tweet:
This isn't about censorship or free speech. It's about protecting lives. Trump's words have now directly lead to 5 deaths & an attack on the US Capitol. Twitter/tech companies should always ban anyone who incites & encourages violence – especially when they have a big platform.
