Twitter says it has suspended Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal Twitter account for sharing COVID “misinformation.”
The Georgia Republican rep’s account @mtgreenee was deleted today.
Greene is one of the rare elected politicians to have their personal account banned by the social media platform as Twitter gets more brazen with its approach to censoring specific voices.
It is not yet clear what specific statement Twitter used as a reason to shut down Greene’s account but Green’s statement suggests that it was for posting data from VAERS, the official database that collects information on adverse vaccine reactions.
In a statement posted to alternative social media platform GETTR, Greene said: “When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth.”
