Rendering HTML from Twitter shows code rather than embeded tweet

Question

I get some HTML representing embeded tweets and want to render them in a template. However, I get raw HTML code rather than the embeded tweet. If I manually add the HTML to the template, the tweet shows up correctly. Why is it rendering code rather than the tweet?

@app.route("/")
def main():
    html_list = sentiment.getEmbed()
    return render_template('home.html', htmls=html_list)

<div id = "tweets">
{% for html in htmls %}
<div id ="twitter-wjs"> 
    {{html}}  
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>

Turn off autoescaping for the HTML, since you presumably trust the data from the Twitter API.

{{ html|safe }}

Jinja escapes unsafe characters by default to prevent some security vulnerabilities. So you see what looks like raw html rather than rendered html.
