The Huffington Post has locked out a contributor and deleted his articles from the site questioning the health of Hillary Clinton.

Blogger David Seaman wrote two separate articles for the site, entitled “Hillary’s Health Is Superb, Aside From Seizures, Lesions, Adrenaline Pens,” and “Donald Trump Challenges Hillary Clinton To Health Records Duel.”

However, the articles were since pulled from the site, with Seaman claiming on his Twitter feed that HuffPo had failed to give him “reason nor notice.”

However perhaps even more shockingly, when Seaman attempted to log back into his Huffington Post word press account, he claimed that it had been deleted by the site’s management.

In a furious Twitter post, Seaman compared HuffPo’s actions to China’s censorship of the press.

Seaman later uploaded a video to YouTube explaining the situation, in which he described the site’s action as “chilling.”

“Whenever a video concerning a presidential candidate’s health is viewed more than 3.5 million times, somebody under contract to the Huffington Post should be able to link out to that, especially as a journalist living in the US without having their account revoked,” he said.

“I’ve filed hundreds of stories over my years as a journalist and pundit and I’ve never had anything like this happen,” he continued.

Seaman also specifically noted in the video that he is “not suicidal right now, I’m not a particularly clumsy person, I don’t own a car at the moment… so if I am to slip in the shower over the next couple of days or something silly like that, we have to really employ probability and statistics here. Because I’m not a clumsy person, and I’m also not a depressed person right now. I’m a person who’s spooked out, though.”
