Twitter has officially defended Leftist Muslim activist Linda Sarsour with a pro-Sarsour spin describing why “Linda Sarsour” is Trending and with a Twitter Moment posting.

Sarsour gave a speech July 3rd at the 54th annual Islamic Society of North America convention held in Chicago in which she called on Muslims to wage jihad on President Trump and to not assimilate.

Clicking the Trending link brings up a Twitter Moments tweet that defends Sarsour:

Twitter included in the Moment a defense of Sarsour from Buzzfeed’s Chris Geidner that includes a partial transcript of Sarsour’s speech. The last paragraph in the excerpt includes Sarsour’s call for jihad against Trump.
