When Gillum challenged the results of the gubernatorial election in 2018, Trump tweeted that he was “an embarrassment to our Country and to Democracy!” Gillum promptly returned fire: “What’s embarrassing to democracy is not counting every vote - and you, of course. Woods has been a major supporter of the president, who in the past has had his fair share of disparaging remarks about and to Gillum.

The episode prompted the deplorable likes of Donald Trump Jr. Perhaps Twitter also read their open letter as the social media platform apparently took action against Woods and his account at some point on Tuesday and overnight before restoring his tweeting privileges on Wednesday. Quite frankly, we are sick of seeing Black bodies become a call-to-fame and the subject of your headlines.” Sharing photos of Mayor Gillum’s naked body, especially in such a vulnerable state, is inexcusable and triggering to a community that has seen our own bodies fetishized and/or slain across the nation, from the lynching tree to Main Street. Preston Mitchum and Michael Seaberry argued that news coverage should not be done in such a “salacious way and the terrorizing of Black life must not be the primary entrée. Woods’ account was suspended hours after an open letter was published addressing Gillum, Black men and the media about over coverage about the incident.
