Twitter will allow Tennessee Rep. and GOP Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn to promote a previously-banned ad, the company told ReCode. Twitter had blocked the ad on the basis that it contained "an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction," per AP. Blackburn's ad stressed her pro-life credential and said she "stopped the sale of baby body parts."
