Conservative columnist David French announced on Friday that he is leaving Twitter "for the indefinite future" because "the site is becoming more like Gab every day" and is bad for his mental health.

I'm leaving Twitter, for the indefinite future. The reason is simple: this site is becoming more like Gab every day. It's a font of hatred, lies, and harassment. And while it's never been great, at least it had its uses. No longer. At least not for me. /1

But now it repeatedly boosts the worst and most thoughtless. I just can't stay here in good conscience. I don't begrudge anyone staying. People can certainly draw different lines, and I will miss Grizzlies twitter, but . . . /3

I'm not off social media. You can follow me at Threads, which has better tools for managing trolls, and I've had great fun interacting with readers, including responding to thoughtful critiques. If you want to keep following me, please join me there. /end https://t.co/AQM9GCzhQB

Everyone had a good laugh at his expense.

Hey, Snowflake, this isn't an airport. You don't have to announce your departure because nobody cares.🤣

Gab also celebrated the news.

French was apparently rewarded for being a sellout with a job at the New York Times.

As I highlighted earlier this month, French once again abandoned all his "liberal" values to call for Israel to commit genocide in Gaza, which he framed as "a moral and strategic necessity."

Not a perfect analogy, but a disturbing aspect of David Frenchism is how strident and uncompromising he is in demanding revenge for Israel as he bends over backwards to call for Christian charity and turning the other cheek on anything having to do with American conservatives pic.twitter.com/Lu6UIsvj57

It's evil for Americans to want to protect their own borders but it's a "moral necessity" for Israel to kill everything that moves in Gaza.

French's Twitter feed is just a feed of Jonathan Greenblatt and David Frum demanding Israel be armed by the US and critics of Israel be silenced.

French said just a few weeks ago that Greenblatt is a beacon of "moral clarity!"

Tremendous moral clarity from @JGreenblattADL. https://t.co/nlDEPleRom

Though French told Christians in America that Drag Queen Story Hour was "one of the blessings of liberty" and our laws cannot be used to stop it, he retweeted Jonathan Greenblatt a few days ago pushing for Students for Justice in Palestine to be banned from college campuses and have their First Amendment rights stripped for "supporting terrorism."

Let's be clear: SJP chapters are supporting & praising Hamas terrorism. By encouraging "resistance" by "any means necessary," they're actively promoting a threatening environment for Jewish students on campuses across the country. This is unacceptable, dangerous & despicable.

What incredible "principles" this TruCon has!
