Twitter Inc, on Sunday, locked the account of Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a political newcomer known for promoting the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory.

The social media platform suspended her account after the newly elected Georgia congresswoman sparred with a state election official over baseless voter fraud allegations.

Greene accused Twitter of suppressing conservative political voices. “The borderline monopolistic stranglehold a few Big Tech companies have on the American political discourse is out of control,” she said in a statement. QAnon backers have pushed conspiracies on social media that include the baseless claim that U.S. President Donald Trump secretly is fighting a cabal of child-sex predators, among them prominent Democrats, figures in Hollywood and “deep state” allies.

The attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters delayed certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory by several hours that day, as lawmakers were forced to flee to seek safety from the angry mob who had overwhelmed security forces.After the attack, Twitter removed Trump’s account, which had 88 million followers, due to the risk of further violence.

As it should be

For 12 hours BFD

She should have a perm ban too.

What is wrong in these people's brains that they can ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears and believe such sh*t

WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER WHERE IS HUNTER

Insanarcists

Lavrentiy Beria is on the job again!..

Tôi nhút nhát và ít nói . cuộc sống hôn nhân không viên mãn .

Ya clean the swamp!

what a true choice! good job , Twitter .

During her suspension from Twitter, Marjorie Taylor Greene should read the First Amendment (and the Constitution as a whole). Protected speech IS NOT a right on a private platform. How sad that she, as an elected lawmaker to the US House of Reps, does not understand this fact.

I hust hope someone builds an alternative for Twitter

Nesara/Gesara ?

About time!

Lmao press freedom rankings this year are gonna be lit

Traitors should have voice in any democracy

I'm sure the world was a better place when conspiracy nutters like Marjorie Taylor Greene were too embarrassed to tell anybody their theories.

bravo, twitter !

Bitch!

jack just make their tweets and all their stuff muted. That way they can put up whatever they want, but nobody will see it. If somebody wants to go to the trouble of looking up their actual Twitter page, and go to see what they tweeted, then they can do that. Everyone wins

What these people advocate isn’t conservatism; it’s terrorism; it’s insurrection; it’s treason. Call it what it is.

She's back.

If she truly believes the 2020 election was fraudulent, then she should give up her seat since she was elected on the very thing she's questioning.

Why do Republicans gravitate towards mediocrity?

I hope they keep it locked

She's still on reruns.

She does not support the Q fakenews

So fun to watch MAGA players fall like dominoes. One bigot by one bigot 😃

So basically anything *not* mainstream is wrong?🤷🏽‍♂️

Those videos from 1/6 are HORRENDOUS!! She is part of the problem. There was no fraud! She got elected on the same fucking ballot as the President! She should be unseated!!!!!

Oh goodness the nutjobs are going to have a field day with this. Get ready folks, comedy hour is upon us.

When will Twitter start deleting accounts of media companies that publish articles contrary to Twitter views? Not long now. Then your own accounts will be locked for any small diversion from the strictly controlled narrative. Say what you want now as you won’t be able to soon.

Thank you Twitter!

Suck on that Marge!

Good.

Social media platforms, no matter how widely utilized, should never feel, nor be compelled in any way to serve as, a forum for neo-fascist propaganda.

polit2k 12 hour suspension. She'll wear it as a badge of honor.

there’s an episode of a real housewives somewhere that needs her drama sitdownmarjorie

I hope it becomes permanent

🤔

Sweet

Lock HER up

Fuck Twitter

Thank you, twitter

Good riddance!

Destroy her.

Why don't they spew their hate on Parler...oh wait...my bad...

This woman is certifiably kooky.

Republicans needs make your owm social network platform 😂

Good.

I think the GOP has a real problem. If their voters are turning extreme, you either have to represent them or quit. Even worse that the great lie that led to an insurrection was just a pawn in Trump's scheme to stay in power. They equate an election loss with Doom and will kill.

Great. Lying for a living should not be tolerated.

Good

Good! Next step, remove her from Congress!! RepMTG ExpelMarjorie ExpelTheSeditionists ExpelTheTraitors ExpelThemBoth ExpelLaurenBoebert

Thank you!

GOP really need a detrumpification of the party Like the denazification of Germany after ww2

Assholes—

Better be late than never.

4 years ago several Democrats Twitted that Trump won a rigged election hijacked by Russia. That led to violent protest at Trump inauguration. No one banned these Democrats from any social media

🙌

Psycho

Greene, yet another GOP QAnumbskull, had her account locked down 'after the newly elected Georgia congresswoman sparred with a state election official over baseless voter fraud allegations.'

Is Trump not enough an example? Such handles must be permanently blocked for the sanity and security of the nation.

She’s still active on her official rep account RepMTG

It's almost as if Republicans scout for their Reps in psych wards.

Reuters trying to justify censorship of an elected official

She's all sorts of terrible.

The crazy!
