Embedding Tweets isn't working

Hello,

I'd like to be able to embed tweets into my blog posts but this doesn't seem to work for some reason, it just outputs as normal html. Is there any reason why this isn't working?

My diagnostic report is below.

Sorry, in the space provided to add blog content there's a button that says "Source" I paste the embed code from twitter in there. Here's a print screen https://prntscr.com/7tf4wo
