"An Army veteran and Republican Senate candidate is taking aim at Twitter for flagging his Fourth of July tweet for "potentially sensitive content." Retired Army Captain Sam Brown, a Purple Heart recipient and GOP challenger to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., commemorated Independence Day by sharing a photo of himself offering a salute in uniform with the text "Freedom isn't free." "Was it my scars or the fact that I salute the flag? Regardless, neither are going away—and neither am I," he added. Brown sustained injuries from an IED explosion during his deployment to Afghanistan in 2008, which left his face severely burned.
