Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA) said on Sunday that Twitter’s permanent ban on Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (GA) is “a little too late” and that it’s a good thing her voice was taken “out of the mix.”
As Landon covered, Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended from Twitter on Sunday over her “repeated violations” of the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
"We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement.
As Landon mentioned in his report, Greene posted a Twitter thread on Saturday about life before and after the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic where she claimed that there are “extremely high amounts of covid vaccine deaths.” Greene’s office told the Washington Examiner that the thread caused her suspension from Twitter, but the platform did not confirm whether or not this was the case.
