(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) -- Facebook took down a lawmaker's post about clashing with armed protesters, saying it violated the platform's policy on inciting violence.

Rep. Clay Higgins, a Republican congressman from Louisiana, warned on the social media platform on Tuesday that if armed protesters showed up in his area, they would be shot and killed.

"The post was removed for breaking our Violence and Incitement policies," a spokesperson for Facebook told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.

As the world deals with militants killing innocents in the name of their ideals; as Christians are slaughtered because of their beliefs; as climate activists keep up their ranting about the perceived environmental crimes being committed, which they say are destroying the world; across the globe, politics rules supreme.

For Americans, that's the focus of just about all news coverage these days, and with the presidential election little more than two months away, we're slowly being inundated with politics, plans and accusations.
