Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene temporarily

“The account referred to has been temporarily excluded due to multiple violations of our civil integrity policies,” the spokesman said. As a result, the congresswoman will be locked out of her account for 12 hours.

Greene, who has a record of offensive rhetoric and ties to the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory, tweeted a conspiracy-laden thread earlier in Sunday about the Georgia Senate election. Some of the tweets got labels from Twitter and remarked, “This allegation of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet cannot be responded to, retweeted or liked because of the risk of violence.”

The Republican from Georgia lamented her suspension in a statement Sunday calling on Congress to “act swiftly” to “protect freedom of speech in America.”

“Conservative Americans should not be afraid to speak their minds. They do not have to fear being canceled by American companies where they work, do business and use services,” she said. “They should not be afraid of submission by socialists who want to end their way of life.”

Greene’s suspension comes as the wrong information was tapped on the social media platform in the wake of the U.S. Capitol burglary that left five dead, including a U.S. police officer in the Capitol. Earlier this month, Twitter President Donald Trump banned the platform indefinitely and later suspended more than 70,000 accounts for promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory.

“While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel that a ban is a failure on our part to ultimately promote healthy conversations. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us,” he said. added.

Although Greene was only elected to the House in November, he committed conspiracy theories and big opinions online.

In the years before she was elected to office, Greene wrote two conspiracy blog posts, speculating that the 2017 White Nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which led to the death of one opponent, was an ‘inside job’ and ‘ promotes an outrageous conspiracy, in which some leaders of the Democratic Party carry out a human trafficking and pedophilia ring – known as ‘Pizzagate’ – as a real.
