Twitter told the Washington Examiner that the message did not violate any of the tech giant’s rules or policies.
Cross has been a vocal critic of President Trump and even joked about different ways Trump’s presidency would end during a recent stand-up show.
“Will he be arrested and sent to federal prison for treason?” he asked the audience during his Oh Come On comedy special. “Or will he die of a massive coronary on a golden toilet? Or will he be assassinated by a group of caring nuns?”
Others in the entertainment industry have sounded off on their elation that Trump will leave the White House next month, including actor Alec Baldwin, who listed different violent ways the president could be removed from the Pennsylvania Avenue residence.
“Who arrests Trump if he refuses to concede? Who drags him out?” Baldwin asked on Twitter last week.
“A knee on his neck, cutting off his oxygen? Does he wheeze ‘I can’t breathe.’ Just whale away on him like a piñata? Rodney King style? The thug who has destroyed the country. What does he deserve?” Baldwin wrote.
